Strengths and Weaknesses

Reflections on strengths and weaknesses
and how they fit into our whole
how often they seem to simply swap places
switching to adopt the opposite role
So what dictates whether character trait
appears as strength or weakness thus
no trait can be seen in simple isolation
circumstances can dictate it as a minus or plus
Of all the factors determining effect
timing and environment play a crucial part
in the battle involving our strengths and weaknesses
on the canvas of the human mind and heart
