That’s What She Said (Or He)
I wish you, Friend,
The finest thing
That I can wish for you –
Not health, nor wealth,
Nor luck, but just
A spirit of bamboo.
Bend with the wind
And thus survive,
Though storms may flatten you.
Weep not at fate,
But spring erect
As bamboo thickets do.
Though knives of hate
May cut away
Your hopes of dreams come true,
From roots of faith
Put out your shoots
And grow your dreams anew.
Wealth may be lost,
And health may fade,
Yet you’ll be wise and true
If you can bend
And you can grow
With spirit of bamboo!
— Helene Grouse
