I
am a lover of flowers in my garden
Which give me fragrance and attract me.
I like to work in my garden every time.
In my imagination my garden appears very big.
The garden is full of flowers during the summer season
Looking like a place of paradise.
I am a boy who likes to roam in the forest
Living in the forest like a lion
Making a permanent house out of branches from the trees
Looking out over the environment of plants and wild animals
As well as doing studies about this environment
For the purpose of gaining knowledge about the forest.
I am a lover of trees on the Earth
Which makes their own food by the process of photosynthesis.
They help the animals of the Earth during hot weather
Providing a shadow for them to feel fresh.
They get full of fruits all over their bodies
Feeding the animals with these fruits.
I am a lover of delicacies like ice cream
Which I am able to buy sometimes.
I look at them while passing across the shops,
Watering from the mouth at the time of being broke
Or eating them at the moment of lunch break,
Feeling so fresh from this delicacy. |
I
am a child of efficient farmers
Who pat me on the back and love me a lot.
I am a boy who often went to the field
Protecting the green fields in place of my parents.
I am a child of paupers from a peaceful village
Which helps me to be a simple person.
I am a citizen of my motherland Tibet
Which is surrounded by snow covered mountain ranges
Having a history of thousands and thousands of years
Annexed by the Red Chinese in 1959
And still under the Chinese today.
I hope to get our country back from the Chinese.
I am a follower of a paramount leader
Who gives mercy to all the sentient beings.
He Himself is a simple Buddhist monk.
I am a Tibetan refugee in India
Living in the Happy Valley village near Mussoorie.
This place reminds me of my peaceful village in Tibet.
I am a student of Tibetan Homes Foundation
Which was opened by His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama.
Being a patriot of my historical country,
I have a special purpose to study,
Saying prayers to God everyday
For the rising of the sun of happiness on my motherland.
