To find the pearl, the sea won’t yield, Nor by mere gaze, is treasure sealed. A daring diver, swift and bold, Must plunge where murky waters fold. In depths where shadows dance and hide, The ocean’s gem, its secret pride. With skill and luck, the prize is won, A shining pearl, the journey done. Dream well to trace the hidden way, Practice hard to shape the day. Together, they weave the magic you seek, And grant the pearl of wisdom you seek.
In poverty’s grasp, the scholar stands tall, Death comes to all, both great and small. I dwell in the infinite, serene and free, Content with my lot, why worry should be?
In life, we’re often led to lean, On others when times are unseen. But helplessness is a shadow we cast, Independence—a wish that lasts. Misery is a path we choose, Despite what life might give or lose. Be good, be useful, true to you, With all you have, with all you do. No one knows the storm inside, Yet how you treat is where you decide. With love and respect as your guide, The world will work, stand by your side.
