Births and Deaths

Births and Deaths 

 

Minutes are born 

in the death of seconds 

Days are born 

in the death of nights 

Nobles are born 

in the end of devils 

Smiles are born 

in the ruins of tears 

Here nothing ends

once for all 

Slumbers are deaths and 

our awakenings are births 

Sorrows and smiles are 

His endless plays

Fun and tears are 

His awards and rewards;  

Understand, my man,

He is our true friend
