Life

Life
Life is like a river
That flows towards
Designated destination,
Not to perish in the sea,
But to continue its existence,
In the new form of view;

Life is like a wind 
That blows towards 
Different possible directions,
It stops not to end,
But change its movement
To other direction as well;

Life is like the sun
That rises every morning 
And sets every evening,
Not to disappear in the dark,
But to continue its journey,
At a dawn of a new day;

Like is like a rain 
That pours throughout the earth,
With no token of flooding;
It stops in the east
To continue in the west,
Alternatively to other directions;

Life is like weather,
It changes automatically,
With prospect of good results;
The happiness of today, 
The sorrow of tomorrow,
Expectation of the best,
Obtainment of the worst;

Life is like a grape tree
That becomes fruitful
In the rainy season,
But dries in the windy season,
Not to wilt permanently,
But to protect itself against
Winter, with its dry layer;

Life is like a feature film,
Starring oneself,
Created by parents,
Directed by friendship,
Written by God,
Produced by partnership
And then it is the end.

From Me To You

From the deepest dungeon of my heart,
I will unleash the most caring love, 
Directed only to the warmth of your heart,
Without prospect of any conditions,
This love is from me to you.

From practice to perfection;
From obsession to passion;
From compassion to companion,
To compromise and to sacrifice,
I dedicate this love only to you.

I will always love you, 
Through health and sickness,
I will be there with you,
Through richness and poverty,
I will love you till death does us apart.
