Sadness I saw an interview with a famous singer (Portuguese) He was talking about his childhood and began crying Not tears in the corner of his eyes, but veritable flood Of tears; looking at him I felt his sadness, whatever It was that the arrow of the past had hit him hard. This made me think of my own childhood and loses But it was so long time ago, and I have made peace With ancient dramas. Nevertheless, I sometimes feel a profound sadness Of the bygone, and that my life took a turn which Was not the way I wanted it, but as the saying goes? You can’t have it all; acceptance is the crucial point That the situation you are in has to be tolerated.
