And taught us how to face the problems that come.

I wonder why some of the poor getting poorer?
While some of the rich getting richer?

I wonder how some of the poor became rich?

They are here with me when I'm in pain and sorrow.
In the wave of the river we go to the flow.
Maybe they were once a stranger.
But now, I value them not just as my friend but as my sister.
