These Nostalgic Golden Years
You still look young,and if you keep smiling...
I deeply feel all of your true sweetness;
and it seems that you are becoming
truly beautiful by rejecting every bit of sadness!
You are still happy, and those hazel eyes
haven't stopped showing love and belief...
even if you have shed my same,bitter tears;
and yes,I'll remember them...but I won't grieve!
These nostalgic golden years
you are gladly living
and immensely cherishing...
remind me of those inspiring words,
"Until life sustains me and faith comforts me,
I hope for more joys without fearing sorrows!"
Your long and peaceful days continue without strife,
as I catch that glimpse of uncertainty
of what awaits you tomorrow;
but the most amazing secret you revealed to me:
is the endless appreciation for life...
a life where the road is clear of any shadow!
You still seem so radiantly joyful
and when your tired eyes close unwillingly
and your weak breath loses its strenght,
I don't feel too distressed or panic at that:
knowing that life departs from you slowly...
to take you beyond the imaginable!
