Sympathy:
Perched on the branch of a tree, was a nightingale sad and lonely
“The night has drawn near”, He was thinking, “I passed the day in flying around and
feeding
How can I reach up to the nest, Darkness has enveloped everything”?
Hearing the nightingale wailing thus, A glow worm lurking nearby spoke thus
“With my heart and soul ready to help I am, Though only an insignificant insect I am
Never mind if the night is dark, I shall shed light if the way is dark
God has bestowed a torch on me, He has given a shining lamp to me
The good in the world only those are, Ready to be useful to others who are
