Blooming Lotus Flower

Kang, Byeong-Cheol

 

Once upon a time, a wise man said

Be happy,

Feel comfortable,

Learn how to calm yourself down

Keep the peace of mind

 

Fame and medals mean nothing,

Everything disappears as dust in the wind

When the humanity in you is gone,

You will lose a precious jewel

 

As a youngster you have no respect for the laws of nature

Everything is in a state of flux

Everything is getting old

You don't listen to wise man

 

When you're engaging in meaningless conversation

Know that you're competing where you don't belong

You can make right the wrong

Follow the written and unwritten rules…

Breathing deeply and slowly

 

 

Be happy

Be comfortable

Keep the peace

There is greatness there,

Enjoy the joy of life with wisdom

 

Jewel in the lotus flower,

Shine brightly from you, me and us

Life goes on, and the power of mercy is mighty…

May people be welcomed by people

 

Lotus Flower hopes t

o ripe fruits,

for Peace in your mind
