"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life. The word is love."

                                                    Life

                          Life is a flower with perfumes and thorns,
                         A book scribbled with pains and happiness
                     Where one with gleam or grief exults or moans,
                                It is a drama of joy and sadness.

                              It `s a drama of esse of everyday
                        With the pages written with noble deeds
                         Where everyone a part is called to play,
                    With scenes of love and care for those in needs.
                            Some episodes are set for the Lord,
                            Where humility is a precious friend,
                            Where sincerity is a common word,
                           Where honesty is a close kin of man.

                       Else, life won`t be a drama worth playing
                           Or a story worth writing or reading.
