Master, I want to follow in Your steps
to reach Your lofty abode.
But why do the fragments of yesterday
always weigh me down?
And why do the dregs of the past
keep being stirred up?
Master, Your magnanimous
love
has melted away my sorrow,
and won me over to nobility.
Yet still the urges of indecency
and thoughts of evil have wandered
into my mind, hurting my heart.
Driven
by appetites,
compelled by fame and gold,
I am feeble and fragile.
Tumbling, striving
to stand firm,
I wipe away the tears, which fill my eyes,
finding new confidence and strength.
No more complaints.
No more running away.
The indomitable soul
must once again hoist all sails.
Life after life,
we have fought with
and been suspicious of one another.
Now,
Master, with Her boundless love,
has heaped us together
to play a game of "peace-for-ever".
Though there
may be a few small conflicts between brothers,
though there may even have been a few tears shed at times,
a new chapter of life has been opened,
and a symphony of love has begun to play.
