My Friend

Your lifetime is the best of all times

Never has the sky been so blue

And the earth so generous

The flowers have never been so fragrant 

And love so astonishing

When has human thought

Been so deep, our knowledge so vast?

Being a genius is not required

It's enough to love others

More than yourself

And you'll gain everything

Care for the world more than for yourself

And you'll be a savior

My friend: your lifetime

Is indeed the best of all times

And the reason is simple: you're alive.
