Ce la vie
We will not live forever
We will die
Someday here on earth
We still have some life
To live ahead of us
Please don't sleep in
During the mornings
Because you will be
Wasting a day away
Ce la vie
It is God
That has made
The four seasons for
We do live in
He made
Summer, Winter, Fall, and Spring
Now we are having
The last days of Summer
We are not happy
That the summer is ending so fast
The birds went south already for
The winter
When the night arrives
Here on earth
We go straight to bed
Because God made a
Sleeping schedule for
us to follow it
We never stay up
Late past our
Bedtime
Also, tomorrow will
Be a new day
And we will be up
Also the first thing
We do when we wake up
Is pray to God
Also, it was our God
That gave us the gift
Of health
Also, we must take
Good care of our health
We have chosen not to smoke
Also, we have chosen
Not to drink
Also, we must
Take care of our hygiene
Every day we take showers
In the mornings
Nobody can't live without
Friends in our lives
Because we would be
Lonely
Yes we need to make
Some friends
In our lives
Life is not a gift,
For those who do not find love,
You have to beat your eggs, your words,
It is necessary to bend like a reed,
Do not believe in fine speeches,
It is necessary to bend like a reed,
plant cabbages, curve the back,
Beat the eggs with love,
You flee all the rivals,
They have read your only flaws,
In Mexico, there or in Oslo,
For those who do not find love,
Life is not a gift.
La vie n’est pas un cadeau,
Pour qui ne trouve l’amour,
Il faut battre ses œufs, ses mots,
Il faut plier tel un roseau,
Ne pas croire aux beaux discours,
Il faut plier tel un roseau,
planter des choux, courber le dos,
Battre les œufs avec amour,
Vous fuyez tous les rivaux,
Ils ont lus vos seuls défauts,
Au Mexique, là ou à Oslo,
Pour qui ne trouve l’amour,
La vie n’est pas un cadeau.
If you have an enemy,
Treat him like a friend
He may not understand this
He may be too dense to comprehend.
When people do not like you,
It is not your fault.
They may not know the reason,
Why are you not their sort?
Some types of people,
Are their worst enemy,
They live in ivory towers
And look down on those they see.
But if you do not seem to notice
And pretend you do not care
Try smiling broadly,
If you should meet them anywhere.
You will confuse them,
And they will not be sure what to do
Should they smile back,
Or be obnoxious to you.
If they still don't want my friendship
It will no longer matter to me
As I will have to be content with the fact
C'EST LA VIE!
Life,
It's bigger than my life...
my past,
it lives on...
Day after day,
I follow steps,
life follows. hers..
One day, I'll depart...
She will endure.
Everything happens
with all,,,
It will happen to me.
I will leave silent,
she will say anything...
She will continue vital...
C'est la vie... !
D'une immense tendresse
Toujours près à partager avec les autres
Offrir à aider sens faute
Une pensée unique et serviable
Me dit que je suis capable
Encourager
J'ai bien semé
J'ai bien grandi
Avec Ombe unis
Seigneur
Qui me tenait toujours à coeur
Fonce, va-y
Chante-nous ton coeur de poésie
Elle est belle
Une relation bien établie
Jesus-Christ notre appui
Toujours là
Il guide nos pas
Rempli de son amour
Livré chaque jour
Voilà son amitié
Toujours prêt à partager
Lesson du coeur
Où le bon Dieu demeure
a dulcet dreamy rendition
of sweet symphony
paints a cosmic light
inciting the sleepy moon
over the silvery sea
as music soars~
I see clouds descending
to kiss the silky shore
resting on his bosom
and as the music fades,
I hear him sings "La Vie En Rose"
in soft serenading tenor~
Oh, my life begins to glow in pink.
Notes: "La Vie en Rose" (French for '"Life in pink"') is the signature song of popular French singer Édith Piaf, written in 1945,[1] popularized in 1946, and released as a single in 1947. ( Info credits to Wikipedia). This ekphrasis is based on Richard Clayderman's performance on piano.

1st place
Dieux reprend premier
Votre sourire
Est fait pour rire
Votre amusement
Sera mon vent
Qui nous apportes
Loins de nos portes
Chanson en tête
Merci ont fêtes
La vie de guérir
Des beaux avenirs
Vous le sachiez
Nous sommes pied à pied
Vous le voyez
Vous le croyez
My doctor’s warning is dour I say,
soon I could be lowered in clay,
so fat, sugar and salt,
hard liquor must halt -
I went to his funeral today.
WHAT IS LIFE BUT THE BLINK OF AN EYE
WE SET OUR GOALS AND CAN BUT TRY
TO MAKE IT A BETTER WORLD FOR THE ONES WE LOVE
BUT SOMETIMES WE ALL NEED A LITTLE SHOVE
AS WE STRIVE AND TOIL TO MAKE ENDS MEET
WE BEAR THE BURDERSOME WEIGHT ON OVERTIRED FEET
BRINGING UP OUR CHILDREN AS BEST WE CAN
ARE THEY GRATEFULL AS YOUR LIFE GOES DOWN THE PAN
FEED THEM EDUCATE THEM AND CLOTHE THEM AS WELL
ARE THEY HAPPY BUNNIES YOU NEVER CAN TELL
THEY FLY THE NEST AT 21 TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE
AND SOON THEY WAKE UP WITH EGG ON THEIR FACE
THEY REALISE WHAT A TREADMILL THEY ARE ON
THEIR YOUTH AND FREEDOM ARE ALL BUT GONE
CHILDREN OFF THEIR OWN AND NO MONEY TO SPEND
THEY GET ON WITH THEIR LIVES AND KEEP UP THE TREND
Stylo à la main
Je n’écris pas mon destin ni la fin
Mais cette aventure dans le train
Ce train de la vie que J’aime à l’infini
Beaucoup de détours tous les jours
Mais il n’y a pas d’aller-retour
Alors je prends avec moi cet amour
Pour le partager tout au long de mon parcours
Cette envie de voir l’espoir danser
Dans les yeux de ce marginalisé
Ecoutez
Ne faisons pas de lui un expulsé
La vie vaut la peine d’être vécue
C’est pour cela qu’il a survécu
Donnons-lui cette source d’énergie
Qui fera de lui un homme pour la vie.

"Ashes to ashes; dust to dust"?
It seems our lives our filled with lust
When facing the sod
Who cares about God?
Give us a girl with a big bust!
*** Lumiere De Ma Vie***
Is being with you atop a foggy,starry hill, my one and only!
Comprehending that you are that soft light in my life,undeniably
and so wonderfully holy.
Love,
Panagiota~
We take for granted this mystical life,
full of surprises and razor sharp strife.
Sometimes the profit is worth the lost sleep,
yet when selling out our lives seem so cheap.
Our time here is short gone before we know,
thinking we have time before were laid low.
There's one way for sure to know we've done well,
to avoid that train that leads straight to hell.
Let us see others in a caring light,
and give them our help and do what is right.
before we know it the end comes so fast,
with no more future and only the past.
Then we'll understand come the last mile,
when our friends greet us and all with a smile!

Reveal to me, do!
How you carried off my heart and it now lives within you.
I can see it brightly alive in your godlike chest.
You had the loving, brown-eyed chutzpah to magically place
both our names upon it and yes, with the family crest.
Reveal for me, do!
How you, at every sunrise, serves me a cup of steaming
aromatic happiness?
And a shower together, Agapi Mou, the crest of jasmine jouissance!
Swimming as one, in life effortlessly, joyfully, in loves' rainbowed,
forever, dancing cadence!
