1.LIFE

Life is not honey and milk,
but it’s the only one we have,
we need to know and give ourselves,
so that we could also receive.

Nobody’s perfect,
nor is there a man without problems,
because there is happiness in life,
so there is no life without challenges.

Let’s be humble to be rich,
because that’s the only way we can see true beauty,
with eyes of love, heart and soul,
simply looking forward to life.

2.THEY ARE HERE

They are here, fighting with a smile,
while a serious illness tries to extinguish their dreams,
while it gets harder and harder for them every new day,
they are still living their dream.

They are here, they don’t care,
they travel through life because they don’t know about surrender,
they are full of strength, full of life,
only beauty lives on their faces.

They are here, they hide severe pain,
wash with strength every day,
although their eyes swallow heavy tears,
they don’t let fears float through their souls.

It’s not easy for them at all, no,
but they can simply do everything,
despite a great deal of fear,
and when the going gets tough, they don’t run out of breath.

They don’t bother with their hair, because it’s not their priority,
they don’t bother with make-up while their eyes hide their sadness,
they all have only one wish,
that the disease disappears from their lives.

They are here, and they are a role model for all of us,
they shine with the will to live even though they are surrounded by darkness,
but they don’t give that merciless guest, no,
to break and defeat them, they are already living and fighting.

That’s why, people, when you think it’s the hardest for you,
that you cannot live because your problem suffocates and crushes you,
remember them, who fight day by day,
and they don’t know if they will realize some other dreams.
