Respect
The sun laughs and says,
The light that illuminates the world in from me-
Yet why cannot I love the dew particle
A little bit more.
The dew particle cries out,
There is no harm in that-
By spreading the softness of the morning,
I vanish in such fascination.
The sun said later,
For you I may be very small-
But try to shine all day long,
Oh, how happy!
I remain vigilant.
