[Self-Help Poem] It wasn't something to be taken for granted. My heart in front of the mirror

A morning without you
How many months, no, how many years has it been?

Things I thought were taken for granted
Were not taken for granted at all

Doing the dishes
Cleaning the bath
Preparing the burnable trash

They weren't taken for granted
They were all things to be grateful for

As the days go by
Half the kitchen is buried in trash
And that half reveals my own sloppiness

I wish
For you to come home with a smile

It is beautiful to dwell in benevolence.
(To dwell in benevolence is beautiful.)

If you cannot do it at home, you cannot do it outside.
To cultivate a heart of compassion, one must first set right their family relationships.

(Li Ren, Book 4 / 67)

If you can love your precious family
You can love the people of the world as well

Because people are mirrors
Just like the mirror a princess looks into every day

Love for love
Thank you for thank you

I'll be waiting
For you to come home

More than ever before
I will love you

When you come back, I'll tell you
'Thank you for everything'
