Reflection



With age, becoming more sensitive,
With time more deliberate,

With peace, build it so it can come,
With emotions, let you inner heart speak,
With death, cry your sorrow and cherish special times.

With the future, you will decide or wait for answers,

With the skies, never stop gazing,
With universe, beyond us and humanity

With yourself and others, be kind and forgiving…,
