‘Step by Step’ by Yungchen Xiaolian

poems 'Step by Step' by Yungchen Xiaolian

Originally written in Chinese and appearing on Minghui.org.

 

Straight, dignified and unpolluted by the polluted world;
They are determined to reach upwards, step by step;
Quiet and humble, bamboo forests cover the mountain;
A piece of bamboo, turned into a flute, sings Falun Dafa Hao*

 

Falun Dafa Hao means Falun Dafa is Good.
