Mend

How do you mend the leaves in Fall
Spring will cast its spell

How do you quench a dried up lake
Only rains can spout it away

How do you patch the withered petals
Soon blossoms will start to sway

How do you sow the plumes that shed
New season will darn it to place

How do you mend a broken heart
You say that life's just this way

:)

A Prayer

Make me honest,

So I can look at my honest reflection

With a candor clear in the murky pond

Make me ambitious,

So that I can soar through the blues

Even when earthly chains fetter

Make me insightful,

So I see the candle dispel darkness

As also its own shadow beneath

Make me thoughtful,

To give without a miserly hand

As nature burgeons happiness in spring

Make me forgiving,

So I measure others’ folly as my own

As miscible as a drop in the ocean

Make me courageous,

So I bloom in the chills of fate

Like a chrysanthemum make me brave

Make me humble,

So I thank you in my greatness

Like gratitude laden boughs of trees

Make me content,

So I can be at peace with myself

Like the dew before the sun wakes
