“A MESSENGER PIGEON”

BY J. WANG

I AM A MESSENGER PIGEON

carrying the message of God.

Flying high in the sky,

Looking down,

I see, mountains and rivers.

I see also,

Human life on the earth clearly through.

So small and so much nothing

Is a men’s glory or failure.

I see also,

A white crane,

Lazily standing in the water field,

Serenely raising her head,

Allowing the breeze

To caress her graceful neck.

Glory or failure,

Compares not to the crane’s ease.

Remember always,

A smile on the face,

With a kindly peace.

This is the message of God, I carry.
