If trend and tradition goes hand in hand
It keeps you wise and trendy too.
Stylish trends though momentary,
Brings for you pleasing applause.
It binds you with its charm.
But core less you become
Like a rootless tree.
Tradition is stalwart with wisdom
of reflection and meditation.
You need training to appreciate tradition,
To look into its depths and glory.
Like the deep sea that supports
The wave to rise and play,
Let tradition the playful trends.
It will keep you smart and wise
Like a great shady tree
With deep running roots.
