My Origin

Amazing grace of age,
As the previous grow older,
Yet our generation fades
Like leaves on a drying tree,
Yet the previous live longer!
One could view this,
Could say or demonstrate
Express that this new,
Thee ‘in’ things of life,
The so called exciting
Leads to nothing but death,
Yet the old principles like:
Love...Faith...Peace, love and
Helping your neighbors,
Appreciating life in its simplicity,
Not defiled by greed but love
Purely in appreciating life
Gives birth to more life,
Let’s return to our true origin
So the next can look up to us.
Let’s return to our true origin,
Were beauty is not physical,
Family tree include neighbour,
Fathers filled with compassion,
Humbleness the new hunk,
A new foundation built on LOVE
