| A candle to kindle ************** http://www.jaihoon.com/egoptics/candle.htm One day my dear mentor gave me much scold Listening to his voice, tears in my eyes rolled I left the assembly unable to speak So that none would see me so meek That day my heart was drowned in pain In search of relief, towards my friend I ran And then I briskly narrated my heart's plight In front of my friend whose face is full of light After listening silently for time long I got a reply that made me strong- "Why lose heart, O Jaihoon Bold ones never cry so soon. Your dear mentor gave you such painful advice Since you are dear to him than anyone else You should feel rather blessed and fortunate That a great one like him is with you intimate" O Reader! A friend's role is to defend When life's trials upon you descend. Alas! No matter how severe is the winter Your friend will say, 'spring will one day enter' A true friend is a Him-sent candle For hope in His Mercy to kindle - Jaihoon http://www.jaihoon.com/egoptics/candle.htm |
