☆ Calmness and Strength ☆
When the stream falls down
From the slope of the mountains,
And flows in the plains with pain,
It maintains its calm
Despite the turbulence of abandonment.
The breeze, after the cyclone,
Learns to gain back its gentleness,
And silent becomes its tone;
The world gathers courage from its repose,
Reclaiming its energy.
The tree, after being wrapped in snow for long,
Removes the frostiness from its mind
And slowly its leaves grow back again;
The world watches in awe its colourfulness
As it waves its branches full of bloom!
O Lord!
Let me be the calmness of that river,
Let me be the gentleness of that breeze
And let me be the strength of that tree!
