LIKE A LILY, I AM
I hold a beauty that astound everyone
Like a lily in the pond that captivates, adoring anyone
A beauty without fragrance but ting your bosom to love
Burgeon your passion that scintillate your heart drove
Do not touch me if after you’ll just throw me
I am simple like a lily yet strong, you can see
I chant my beauty struggling alone to live
I flourish in the midst of mud, I stay alive
I stand still and had lived my life for all the fault and blame
And I can still be living even you humiliated my being from shame
I am still the same beauty that God made me
Like a lily in the mud pond stay its beauty as you see
Strong and will always stand the same even you stark me with pain
I can always be me, to dance and sway even I lived in vain
Don’t pick me up just to satisfy your play of lust
Leave me alone, if you can’t show real love and trust
Like a Lily, I am
