Lotus
It is amazing to see this flower,
that despite it grows in mud;
It always raises above the water,
without having fears of flood.
Its color is neither green nor red,
but its stem is green and long;
Grows from a seed, up from bed,
it shows us all how it is strong.
No matter where it grows in dirt,
it always stays above from it,
Bearing all pains that make it hurt,
diverts it route from that ****.
It wouldn't look pretty in the vase,
not can take the place of rose;
But it has no any signs of disgrace,
and has neither rivals and foes.
All days and nights, it keeps awake,
in ponds and lakes, it is rife;
It enlightens us the right path to take,
disregarded the status of life;
