The Pink Lotus

Blooming under the sun and wind Displaying lovely pink petals Adorning muddy, stinking water What a fantastic life! Flowers bloom upright Drink the murky water Have the wind and sun freely The soft nuts are yummy The man's native family Cannot define a destiny Pink Lotus gave us a lesson Grow up in a stinky water The old home of ancestors Blooming under the sun and wind Displaying lovely pink petals Adorning muddy, stinking water Pink lotus rises proudly Fragrance and beauty Stand tall with courage Changed lives from misery Strike high for victory

A very fine metaphorical piece! Perfectly set up for the finale.

A great read! Reminding us how insignificant 'where we come from' is when compared to 'how we transform ourselves to offer our best to the world'. Ani
