Poem: I Can’t Be Where You Are Not

(Minghui.org)

I can’t be where you are notWhen I was young, I used to wander a lot,Passing the time while searching for something define I cannot.It felt like waiting and longing to grow up,then it turned out to be for naught.

When I had no stars to look up to, I taught myself to read a lot,having no shoulders to lean upon.When a suffocating oppression of freedom began,Driven was I to a world that is unplanned.

Freedom came with struggles and confusion,the initial goal was forgotten and I got lost before long.Until one day when the sunset was so dazzling,The heaven, ocean and land became one, as if a golden world all of a sudden.

Running like a child towards her parents,I rushed to the golden world only to get closer to the divine!A few years later, confirmed it was the daywhen the Creator once again revealed himself to show me the way.

The world is a maze if not seen as a trap,Millions of opportunities go astray while the truth of life is hidden away.How fortunate not to be forsaken by the Creator!Embracing the great mercy, I recall that we all are high-realm beings descended!

Life didn’t become without hardships,even after the Fa became my Big Dipper.Yet, sweet things taste more rewarding,and suffering has become full of meaning.

Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance-the Fa,I cannot be where you are not.Out of breath from time to time,Still I’m determined to finish the divine path, with the brave fellowship descended from cosmoses afar.

Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance-the Fa,I cannot be where you are not,Just as a sail to reach the shore must have wind,Just as a person must have both body and soul to laugh to the end of this era.
