My mom's hands had become wrinkled and old
But to me, they were still, precious as gold
They still could soothe us with a touch
I valued their ability, so very much
...
Never shall I commit an act that is rash
Never shall I sell my soul for cash
The path to hell is rosy
I very well know it's true
...
When nature calls
How do you feel
Do you, your city layers, peel
And throw them on the grass so green
...
Nothing hurts more than a harsh, unkind word
From the mouths of people unnecessarily frank and pert
Insulting others is to be avoided at any cost
Speak one sentence, and then you're as good as lost.
...
Darling, if you would just say that you love me
Then I would no longer have to ask on a bended knee
For your fair hand, which is fairer than the swan
No longer would I sigh, right from night to dawn.
...
Snow-white clouds decorate the sky
They are fluffy and fleecy, and pleasant to the eye
They are the silver linings on many a gray morn
When you lazily wake up, stifling a yawn.
...
The red eye of the sun took at last look over the earth
For it, could not, its gaze from it, avert
And then, with a final farewell it disappeared
As quickly as the flight of a tiny humming bird
...
Let's all see what the farmer does
When Spring is in its bloom
He ploughs the soil with all his might
And then, for the seed, makes room.
...
On my evening walk
The grass strewn with flowers
My attention does block
Till I look up at our towers
...
I will dance in the sun
And continue to have fun
And even in the rain
I will smile through my pain
...
