Some people rub us the wrong way
Although they do not mean to
But still it takes our joy away
And dampens moods, it's true.
...
All the great crown jewels
Never can make a man wise.
And all his good education may well
Mirage the False in our eyes.
...
Do you know
What it's like over there?
First there's the searing heat
And the blinding sand winds blow,
...
Wealth is empty, love is fickle;
Gold is the friendship I give -
Prayers, though subtle
From this heart, receive!
...
To keep her brood inside safe, protected
The mother swan spreads wide her wings,
A sight such as this I have reflected
Showed me a glimpse of His Divine caring.
...
Colors of glory,
Declare in motion
Praises purely
For His creation.
...
It is a deadly
Double-edged knife
That cuts the heart
Completely,
...
Oh, I love the sea so much
I could have been a mermaid!
But then the people would laugh much
To see me topless, I'm afraid.
...
Discoursing well beyond
What's cordial, pertinent-
Exposes there, I find
Some hidden sentiment.
