Mirror

A mirror holds no face, no sight,  
It waits in silence, still as night.  
And when it speaks, it softly shows,  
Not its own, but what it knows—  
The soul that stands before its glass,  
The “other” that it lets pass.

Yielding

When mighty forces clash in strife,
Victory bows to wisdom’s life.
The one who bends, yet does not break,
Will find the path that others forsake.

In yielding, strength is often found,
A gentle power, profound and sound.
For he who bends with grace and skill,
Conquers all with steadfast will.

Competition

The finest athlete seeks a worthy test,
A general knows his foe the best.
Businessmen serve the common good,
Leaders follow where the people stood.

They compete with a playful heart,
Like children, they embrace their part.
In harmony with her natural way,
They shine in every game they play.
