GOOD DEEDS
Do good deeds for morrow sake,
For in its cost you will harvest your stake.
Let your deeds sweeten every soul,
For the wheel of Nemesis makes it whole.
For in its cost you will harvest your stake.
Let your deeds sweeten every soul,
For the wheel of Nemesis makes it whole.
Do good deeds in hands of fate,
For its rewards cometh by ones faith.
Let your presence bring an incense of joy,
For it comes like every child's favorite toy.
For its rewards cometh by ones faith.
Let your presence bring an incense of joy,
For it comes like every child's favorite toy.
Do goods deeds to honor the past,
For the art of forgiveness is what’s last.
Let your heart bloom in what's right,
For you be remembered in this light.
For the art of forgiveness is what’s last.
Let your heart bloom in what's right,
For you be remembered in this light.
