What if someone lies to you?
What if that is really true?
What if that's your best friend now?
How must I feel then, yes how?
Why cannot we taste the fruits?
The fruits of true friendship?
Why cannot we taste good results?
The good results of true companionship?
Why must it always have a shipwreck?
A shipwreck because of wrong navigation.
Why all of a sudden sailing to unknown destinations?
Is that because of your sudden sensations?
These are all my questions, dear.
These are all so very new for me,
as they suddenly appear
We know that honesty is the best policy.
We possess an inner wealth
and therein much prosperous health
God hath given us much talent,
our prophecy is prominent
So my dear, please never lie
This is the First Week of Advent
My dear, why must it happen
Someone unknown to you has let it un-wrappin'
Why so many lines were no trophy?
My dear, our brand new love
has turned now a jalopy!

Why must it always have a shipwreck? A shipwreck because of wrong navigation Sometimes people misunderstand us! It cannot be helped and we lose friends! However we are not to lose heart as we possess inner wealth. Even if life may not always give us what we expect, let us learn to use the inner wealth and be happy! The questions you have asked in this poem, I often ask myself too! A great write Sylvia! Top marks!
Thank you so much, you know too well about friends who share the same emotive feel, exactly, Valsa, most sympathetic responses here, thank you from my heart, also for your Top marks mentioned, Valsa. Truly most sympathetic.

I would like to translate this poem
You are very true in expression. God is true friend of many of us. He guides us in right path by his grace. He sails our lives in right boat when we surrender to him. He has given us much talent. We shall recognize this and we shall use this in his service...10
