The Three Brothers (LORE)

Some nearly a score and few moonshines ago,
3 boys were born, each into a different family.
The first to arrive, called himself Joy,
The second to arrive was named Shine,
And the third, the last of them all was Faith.

They first met in a family gathering, honoured among all families.
Like other children, they were first, very, very shy.
But soon, they saw within one another qualities that each possessed,
and sooner than they expected, they all became good friends.
Lore it has it been, brothers they all be; Joy, Shine and Faith.

Joy and Shine sometimes get annoyed by Faith, but they still loved him.
Sometimes Shine feels insecure, but Faith and Joy will stand up for him.
Other times, Joy gets stuck, but with Shine's smiling radiance, and Faith's never say die optimism, they always make up for one another.

One day, Faith's family broke up, and soon he had to go.
Thus Faith went, but they promised, they're brothers for life.
Soon enough, Shine's family had to move, in search of a better life,
and thus Joy, Shine and Faith, were left, all alone, all alone..
Alone in their cells, alone in their walls.

For many, many years Joy, Shine and Faith never met.
Even in the years of exile, the three tried to communicate,
In firm and staunch belief, that all will unite once again.

One stayed in the East, another went up north. One went south, and to this day, they remained there.

Yet in the separation, yet in the desolation, hopes were high, and prayers were chanted,
and as if by a chance, endowed by the Almighty, a silent prayer was answered.
Shine, found them both, and reunited all of them,
Just like back then, when they met each another first in Shine's place,
Even though it dawned upon them, that Joy and Faith lived near to one another,
And even if Shine was so far to the south east,
Even if they had been able to meet together,
After so many years, scars have shaped and formed them, but deep down they remained the same,

But one thing the world is to know, the united of the trinity is a force to be reckoned with,
One by one,
Two by two,
Three by three, each is to meet, each to reseek, each to consolidate;
The three brothers will unite, once again.

and that now each have contacted one another, it is a matter of time before one founds another.

To my brothers Jit Beng, Sheng Liang, where ever you are, shall you see this:

LIVE! LONG LIVE!

God bless you two, my brothers. You deserve everything, all the beauty of this world, all the wonderful things in this world. I pray to the Almighty that you both shall have that blessing, even if it means sacrificing mine. I will. God bless you both, my brothers.

benedicat vos omnipotens Deus.
Semper Fidelis!
