Parable of the Abandoned Child

I am a man without fame but possessed the highest treasure
A child without a name
She is the most beautiful woman within my village
For known for flowers on her beautiful hair
Her face is slim with shiny blue eyes
Which gives a shy looking smile
In slim bodies of a lotus flower
She takes men's hearts by the eye
I took her home from a lost place unknown
but raised her as my daughter
When my friend came in and talked to me
I asked what leads for his coming
He told me of a business, but requested my devotion
I took the trial by risk
With the job in hand, I rise to fame
And became the wealthiest man
Making more and more abundance, I churn the nector of prosperity
I lost interest in my child
Years flew by but my child nagged me
I refused takingmost of her offers

Until one day when my wealth swept me away
Like the waves in the ocean of samsara
I continue counting my lot, my gold throne grows high
The child came to ask me for a play
Angered by her request, I asked her to leave
She said, "I miss you so much father"
For every time I refused, she prayed on me further
I roared up and yelled, "Get out!!"
She burst into tears over my rejection
"Do you love me dad?" she desperately asked
Raging into a hurricane, I rebuke her kindness
Slapped her face and said "you stupid fool!!"
She flew into depression and ran away from my house
Crying in the cold winter's night
She tried to run as far as she can
But found nowhere to rest
Upset by her emotions, I continued my business
And became a far-off stranger

Years flew by without a single bird song
I'm stuck within the walls
In gaining back my once abundant material wealth
I fell from hero to zero
Realizing I couldn't hold it any longer
I returned to my daily life
"Child, dearest child, Where are you?" I called
But there was no answer
I searched and searched all over my house
Looking for my lost daughter
Until one day, I found a letter of love
That reads from my daughter's words:
"Dearest father, my dearest father
I knew you would look for me
Did you miss me father? I strongly believed
You are the greatest person
Did you remember the time you kissed me in bed
And sang to me your magnificent song?
I truly miss your nobility
From deep inside my heart
But now that you don't love me anymore
I departed away from your presence
From my own disappointmentI left everything behind
For nothing matters anymore
I regret in nagging for your attention
I'm now going beyond and begone to the other side
Where love is truly accepted
If you still love me and truly love me
I'm waiting for you in the woods
Although it's been years have passed without your heart
I'm patiently waiting for your return
But all I want to tell you before my farewell:
I love you father always"

Running out to the stormy woods
I called out my child's name
In searching for her, I found a trail of blood
And followed towards a corpse
I picked up the body and recognized my daughter
From the flowers on her long beautiful hair
I wept, cried and cried for the loss
"I'm so sorry" I constantly lament
Reading the letters from my beautiful daughter
"I'm so sorry" I constantly lament
Remembering back all her childhood dreams
"I'm so sorry" I constantly lament
Losing hope upon myself, I planned to end my life
"Oh life, why did you abandoned me?"
In returning home, I took my rope
Tied it to the ceiling up high
Death is lingering, waiting for my next move
I choose to end my life from here
At the moment of hitting dead-end, I held myself back
"Do I choose to end this way?" I asked
Reading the letters again from the words of my daughter
"I got it!" I awoke

Giving up the life of leisure, I abandoned all wealth
Choosing to be a monk
Donating and giving up for charity
I chose love over death
Pushing my mentality with nothing at rest
I reverse my negativity
Pushing my mentality towards compassion for all
I chose love over death
But looking over my daughter's body
My fresh wound emerges with regret
Useless and futile, I thought
I fell back to my original state: death
In trying to hang myself once more
To hope one day see my daughter again
Hang the rope, tie the noose
I'm ready to die for my own sin
Upon my moment of upmost intensity
My daughter’s body becomes radiant clear-light
She walked up to me and kissed
As beautiful as new, she made her presence known
I withdrew my will for death
I closed my eyes and hugged her with joy
I cried in my own ecstasy
Her body was gone, as I opened my eye
Just to find that abandoned child was I.
