Don’t ask me – it’s not OK! –<br />
To close my eyes and trust.<br />
This year, this month, this day,<br />
This minute could be my last.<br />
And so, my friend, that’s why<br />
To do all my best I try<br />
In order to see as much<br />
As possible and to touch,<br />
To hear, to learn, to feel,<br />
Don’t stay like the water still,<br />
To travel, to fly, to smell<br />
And all that remember tell.<br />
Don’t force after you to repeat.<br />
You’ll never succeed with it!
