eLouise - My Jamaican Roots, 2021

A favour done, not as return for another, 
is more valuable than
heaven and earth put together.

A timely favour, however trivial
its material value is,
is invaluable.

just delve into the real impact of a favour,

done without calculating the returns, 
it is vaster than the ocean.
Those who know the value of a favour, 
will not evaluate its worth,

just delve into the real impact of a favour,  

even if a favour done is a minor one.
Those who know the true value of a favour, will see
for the quantum of favour, a tree, where there was a grain.

Impact Of A Favor  - eLouise

A favour returned, is not to be based 
on quantum of favour done,
but on the magnanimity of the person who did the favour.
Never forget your ties with a flawless person; 

Never forego the friendship
Of those who stood by you during a distress.

One would remember the friendship 
of those who helped overcome a distress, forever,
even if there are seven births.
It is not right to forget the help rendered by someone; 

Never forego the friendship
of those who stood by you during a distress.
  
it is virtuous to forget any harm, 
the moment it is done.

Never forego the friendship
of those who stood by you during a distress.

2. Never Forget Friendship - eLouise (My Jamaican Roots, 2021)

The wealth of one who has a balanced view, 
will remain intact and will last for the next generations. 

Ups and downs in life are inevitable  

Even if some good comes out of the gains 
generated by being unfair, 
desist from making that gain. 

Ups and downs in life are inevitable  

Ups and downs in life are inevitable; 

Whether a person has been just or unjust in life,
will be ascertained by the nature of 
offsprings left behind. 

Ups and downs in life are inevitable

Ups And Downs - eLouise - (My Jamaican Roots, 2021)

When the heart falters to think unfairly, 
be alerted that you are on course for ruination.
The world will not think ill of one who has stumbled into poverty
because of being fair and righteous. 

Being fair and righteous  

Like a weighing scale that is balanced 
and sways correctly,
the grace of noble scholars lies in dispassionate assessment.

Being fair and righteous    

It is righteous to speak words that are not deviant; 
such words are a result of unbiased thoughts that are not deviant.

Being fair and righteous

Fair And Righteous  - eLouise (My Jamaican Rots, 2021)

If, without fairness, you desire 
to usurp the well-earned wealth of others,
it will destroy your family, 
trigger more crimes and result in guilt. 

 One who is flawless and wise 
 One who is flawless and wise   
 And has mastered all senses, 
 Will never feel ‘I’m poor’ 

Craving for the cheap thrills
That other’s money can give, one,
Who seeks TRUE happiness, 
Will not do an unrighteous act. 

 One who is flawless and wise 
 One who is flawless and wise   
 And has mastered all senses, 
 Will never feel ‘I’m poor’ 

What is the use of deep wisdom 
and broad knowledge, if one acts 
indiscreetly with anyone, coveting his wealth.

Never Feel  I'm Poor - eLouise (My Jamaican Roots, 2021)

To believe that transient things will last forever
is deplorable stupidity.
Great wealth accumulates  like a crowd assembled at a theatre;

Before your tongue goes numb
and you let out your last breath,
Hurry to do one more good deed.

 Wealth is transient; when it comes about,
use it to do a lasting righteous deed.  
when it goes, it vanishes like the crowd at the end of the play.

Before your tongue goes numb
and you let out your last breath,
Hurry to do one more good deed.  

*BRIDGE: (more powerfull singing)
The wise get this : Time, that manifests itself as days,
is a sword that slices off life.

Before your tongue goes numb
and you let out your last breath,
Hurry to do one more good deed.
