BORN AGAIN

Born again in every springtime, when the

New leaves sprout and fresh flowers bloom

And the rhythm of Nature rejuvenates me ... .

Born again when I remember good times

With others, whose lives I have touched in

Some way so I live on in their memories ... .

Born again when I triumph over travails -

Face adversity, surmount stumbling blocks :

Each trouble teaches me how to live anew.

Born again when I lend a helping hand with

Sympathy and empathy for fellow men, so

Love and compassion live on forever in me.
