Notes About The Poem

- Deep Breath -

When change does not delight
Life is constantly changing
We know it involves both pain and joy

It's when the day lights up
The awareness of the key
which opens the hearts of others

Be real instead of perfect
I can not stop the wind,
but I can teach myself to sail with 

The smell of flowering bushes and trees
Meet the changes of life without worry
One thing is for sure ... that nothing is certain

The direction of life, what you want in your heart
By the power you carry within you, the seeds of the future
A starting point for new experiences
