O Christmas-born, God bless you throughout life!
Just do your earthly duty with great care;
The problems that arise are pretty rife;
To face them unafraid, we must all dare.
A bureaucratic job seems tricky now;
To get things done by others is no joke;
By losing self-dignity, one can't bow;
At times, our shoulders can't carry the yoke.
To strike a compromise is easier not;
The corrupt world is tough to honest men;
Between the devil and deep sea, we're caught;
And yet, we must escape the lion's den.
But God helps us surmount our problems tough;
He shows the light-house 'midst sea-storms rough!
