Yet if you stray, friendship's bond you break,
My happiness then, a sorrowful ache.
Should hurtful actions become your trend,
My joy in you, I fear will end.
Forgetting roots, disregarding kin,
Our homeland's joy, you'll no longer win.
But we won't weep, nor endlessly grieve,
Your deeds have caused us to sieve.
If repentance dawns, and love for our land you find,
Welcomed back, though joy less refined.
For in forgiveness, a seed of joy blooms,
Healing wounds, dispelling glooms.
So let us hope, for a brighter day, when joy in your smile forever stay.
