  • Never be separated

    Mother, can a droplet be separate from the ocean, And boast that it could exist alone just only as one, No, its pride vanishes when the mighty sun soon rises, Lo! Vaporized, it‘d disappear in a fraction of minutes. Mother, can a fledgling fly far looking at the sky, And boast that it can reach
