What is life?
What is life? - my daughter once asked,
What is joy, or sadness, and sorrow?
Why do we wear quite so often a mask? -
Ashamed of the past, so unsure of tomorrow...?
Why is it that life can be heaven to some,
Yet sadness, and tears for the others?
While some are so eager of what is to come -
The rest do not trust their brothers...
My dearest, my sweet, - you're so young and naive,
Your heart tears apart with compassion and yearning...
There is one thing I want you to believe -
And that is the law of returning:
Wherever you go, and whatever you do,
Regardless of what you are feeling, -
Treat others as kind as if they were you...
As if with yourself you were dealing!
It always comes back - one way, or another...
Then joy will be yours - the truest of all.
You'll always have friends around your heather...
Your heart will grow big, though you are still small.
