No more brooding,
No more despondency.
Your life shall become
The beauty of a rose,
The song of the dawn,
The dance of twilight.
If I can always have
A childlike confidence,
Then my Lord Supreme
Will without fail, become
My sleeplessly self – sacrificing Friend.
You have given freedom to your mind.
Therefore, your mind causes worries for you
About the future.
Why do you not give freedom to your heart?
Your heart will definitely prepare you
For the future.
If we feel secure
In the depths of our heart,
We shall not challenge anybody,
For inner confidence
Is nothing short of
Complete satisfaction.
