What a beautiful discovery this was...

I always look and search for beautiful works from the eastern part of this world to translate it, whenever possible, in English so I can reveal it the western part
and so I came across this beautiful poem...


I want small joys
So small that
No one would want to take it
away from me


Absolute beauty right there!
