10. Truth and I are friends
A sleeping flowerIs my heart.
Believe it or not,
I tell only the truth.
    Truth and I
Are indispensable friends.
A sleeping leaf
Is my mind.
Believe it or not,
I tell only the truth.
    Truth and I
Are inseparable friends.
A sleeping lion
Is my vital.
Believe it or not,
I tell only the truth.
    Truth and I
Are eternal friends.
A sleeping dog
Is my body.
Believe it or not,
I tell only the truth.
    Truth and I
Are transcendental friends.
