Kwan Yin has beauty above all beauties
She is a Princess – higher than any Queen
Depicted in folklore with Fairy likeness
Her compassion is boundless and serene

Her legend is vast and awe inspiring
To the Chinese she originates as Miao Shan
She has been renowned for four thousand years
And in Bodhisattva – is incarnated as a man

When Miao Shan died – she refused to go to heaven
Whilst on Earth one suffering being still remained
She brought comfort to all children – and the childless
Plus hope and the love of God – to those in pain

As a deity in all Asia she is known as Kwan Yin
Sometimes her name is spelt in different ways
In India she is Avalokitesvara – and no less famous
She is cherished in any form that she displays

At times she appears regal as a Buddha
And in paintings she is often floating in the clouds
Sometimes she is on a lotus or a dragon
And dispenses empathy ahead of religious vows

In truth Kwan Yin is a wondrous legend
To be welcomed everywhere she goes with open heart
For she is a devoted God Faerie to all children
And to distressed has selfless love that she'll impart
