Love of Life

A heart should be open to all things in life,
to the little, simple joys
to children, to people, to beasts and to plants,
do you also hear their voice?
Both the sun and the rain are important to us,
both have their own special feel,
there’s nothing that we can’t embrace and enjoy,
everything’s part of the Wheel.

The little bird singing on the branch of a tree,
the starry darkness of night,
mowed grass, a warm bath, or a big apple bite,
their small, taste, sound, feel or sight.
Or to really see someone else for some time,
their hopes, dreams and also their hurts,
can make you feel love filling up your wholeheart,
it feels like it bursts.

It’s hard to remember this every day,
there are so many hardships to bear,
but nothing else will make our lives worth to live,
for what other option is there
but to really notice the world all around,
to let it sing through your soul?
Then you will know what it is to feel joy,
then you will surely feel whole.
