Life

I wanted to give you a gift, Life
hand it over to love
and kiss
the cheeks of brothers and sisters
those who did not have the strength,
who lost faith
in the Kingdom, the Authority, and Righteousness
in man
in tomorrow

and one more wish, Life
fly far
give life
to the people
who no longer are
and those who shall soon disappear

yes, and one single thing, Life
I wish
those
who see light and beauty
who know man and love
who await dawn and believe in it
that joy makes its nest and beauty that happiness fills the nest and love
