Flower of Lotus



Like the swans follow the bath of sun
Our thoughts should be warm but calm

Like the Lotus grows in the mud under the water
and spreads the flower only in the clean water

Our experience can grow
in the most bad conditions
but our thoughts should be clean
like mountain's rivers flow

We should seek for light
even if we surrounded by darkness
like the bee collects nectar
not injuring the flowers
We shouldn't hurt others
on our bad hours

Beautiful Lotus flowers
let them grow in the clean water
Like our thoughts should be fruitful
and reflecting light
Like the birds fly in the freedom
in the beautiful sky
