10. Truth and I are friends

```

A sleeping flower

Is 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. ```
