After Guardian  --The Horse and the Monkey by Mary Jean Chan

What does it matter?

Let them call me a  donkey

Let them brand you a  jumping

Monkey,or  vice versa , as long as

You and I are knit together in a

 Bond of incessantly tied up

togetherness and  long relationship;

you respect my sentiments, equally

I go by your dictum of leadership

In the sacred  well being  of  our threshold;

Under  the sun and stars, we are all ,

Ought to be governed by the common

Wholesome principle of love ,

Give and take  and mutual  respect.

Our mothers should always continue

To love and teach us tolerance.

What if we move like monkeys to move

And horses  to run from place to place

Tree to tree as long as there is one

Common point of togetherness,

Reach and  rivet in our cozy hearth

Of love  and affection and loyalty.
