What would almost of us do,  
Without our salt and pepper?  
When we add these two ingredients,  
Our food will taste much better;  
Pepper comes in various colours,  
In corns of black, red, green and white,  
And for certain spicy dishes,  
The combination is just right;  
With salt, a teaspoon is enough,  
Eating without salt is better,  
Because if you use too much salt,  
Your pressure will go haywire;  
So even though salt and pepper
Will enhance almost all your food,    
Be sure to use moderation,  
Or you will end up not so good.

Golden lights in the window panes,
And in the lanterns on the street,
The sidewalks shine a mystic glow,
Lovely where strolling fairies meet

Not a venue for human eyes,
The fairies’ walk we’ll never see,
It exists in a far-off place,
It’s hidden well from you and me.

Small and pretty people,
Living in a long-lost land,
Elves and imps and gnomes,
Make up this merry band;

They are sharp and fast,
To find them you have to be,
Sharp and fast like them,
Otherwise they are hard to see.

I had a lovely dream last night,  
You came to me and called my name,  
But when I awoke this morning,  
Everything was sadly the same.  
So I shall pass today in haste,  
Waiting for night to quickly fall,  
And hope that I will dream again,  
And my name I will hear you call.

Humility and gentleness
Are often mistaken for weakness
Selfish and ignorant minds
Just cannot understand tenderness

Life is full of empty words
You meet them everyday
Real sentiments are often missing
Despite what their owners say;

Condolences and compliments
Are often voiced with falseness
Just made to follow the norm
Of courtesy and correctness;

Better to prefer the silence
Of genuine heart-felt feelings
Than empty words of shallowness
Forgotten after a few meetings
