Ride me with fear and trembling, like the cart before the horse, pulling behind the storm and raging curses of one who was beheaded yet speak in the language of men in the earth beneath. Ride me gently with respect because it is assured that I will come out stronger.
Trouble isn't far away from you, like a sleeping dog, it lies without bothering you,
dare it not. With one eye closed, be vigilant as the storm rolls away. It wouldn't be a hard fact that it could come back at you, so keep watch, be timely.
Like the Duke of Sarajevo, who had called his best friend to look after his wife, as he sojourned to the battlefront, with the intention of bringing tranquility to his motherland. Only a step away from home, Nikolas, his best friend, ran towards him, asking for the key to the door where the duchess was locked.
Now, the storm isn't over, it just started. Yes, after the rain comes the shine but behind the storm is the mole from man's eyes. His friend was not in his best form, the Duke was never disappointed. It was just the nature of his friend to lust.
From the line of duty, came back with a lot of wounds, which kept the whole city quiet. As people keep asking why royalty would stoop to carrying weapons. Sooner than anyone could imagine, his wounds healed up and there was peace in Sarajevo.
Never again could Nikolas come to eat from his friend the Duke. He had felt he would never return from the line of duty. How he forgot too soon that life is not always turbulent, is a mirage to whoever heard the tale of the two friends.
You know it all. One good turn deserves another. When the tough get going, the end thereof is success and the dreams of a deadly yesterday may be forgotten because of the joy that have arrived. Hence, do not banquet with shame, do to them.what you deserve to get in return.
Tomorrow is pregnant, no one knows what she will give birth to. As you wait for it to deliver, give it the nourishment for a safe delivery. For every pain, there is a packet of gain.
