midnight in the garden of peace

midnight in the garden of peace
You need so little to be great, and strong and brave!
A kind word and a gentle touch are never too much.
Hope is all we need
Day after day, year after year,
the door opens for new things.
We cling to the old and the familiar,
while waiting to see what life brings.
It’s hard for those who live in fear,
when they are afraid of future mornings,
who are afraid of change and, to them,
every day is similar.
It’s important to enter the new tomorrow with a smile
and embrace the future as an adventure.
Life passes at such a speed.
To continue the race, hope is all we need.
It’s a difficult path
We see neither a sunny day nor blossoming valleys
when our head is full of problems and worries.
And in vain the sun that smiles and the distances that call,
in our minds it’s always night and always fall.
We carry our head with us wherever we go
and our thoughts go with us, and our sorrow.
It’s a difficult path and the struggle is unceasing,
