Sincere Friendship

Friendship is a sheltering tree
Where grows flower of love
That extend it branches
Like a bliss of heaven above
For friendship is a rare gift
And a source of pleasure
That brings fun and joy
More than any treasure
And it is like a garden
Where grows grass green
Just like that in friendship
There is nothing mean
And friendship is unselfish
And it is also kind
that brings you a lot of fain
And pleasure's peace of mind
because it is a sunshine
That gives it bright light
And makes everything gloomy
In the garden of delight.

Pleasure and Joy

Now, joy is born of parents poor,
And pleasure of our richer kind;
Though pleasure's free, she cannot sing
As sweet a song as joy confined.

Pleasure's a Moth, that sleeps by day
And dances by false glare at night;
But Joy's a Butterfly, that loves
To spread its wings in Nature's light.

Joy's like a Bee that gently sucks
Away on blossoms its sweet hour;
But pleasure's like a greedy Wasp,
That plums and cherries would devour.

Joy's like a Lark that lives alone,
Whose ties are very strong, though few;
But Pleasure like a Cuckoo roams,
Makes much acquaintance, no friends true.

Joy from her heart doth sing at home,
With little care if others hear;
But pleasure then is cold and dumb,
And sings and laughs with strangers near.

I'm Self-confident

With your self-confidence, you will succeed
No longer will your heart painfully bleed
As humans, we have our twists and turns
However, from these problems we always learn
Life has its own road and way
But you have your opinion, actions, and your say
Although life may bring you down
Don’t ever respond with a frown
Instead of giving up and letting go
Just cope with the problems and let them flow
In the end, a solution will be made
And no longer will fear and doubt be your shade
Perfection is a fictitious word you should never follow lead
If you seek perfection, you will never succeed
Just take a step at a time to regain your confidence again
However, along the path there will be pain
You will make mistakes along the way
But never let your faults forever stay
Wisdom will guide your every step
And will erase all the bad memoirs that you have long kept
You will regain your self-confidence bit by bit
The worse may happen but you mustn’t quit…

A timid King

The script was given in time
It's too heavy and really a challenge.
He was chosen as the King.
He cried; And he wants to tell the Playwright
' Give me a small part in your massive drama
As I am a born pauper.
The crown isn't fits for my head
And I am scared of the sword.
The rough shinning dress tingles my soul
And I shall be fainted at the stage
When curtain raises.'
But the thorough bred horse neighs
And refuses any other King rides on its saddle.
