How beautiful is life, when we accept it as it is!
 

Smile at it morning to eve without complains or regrets
 

Breathe the silence of the valley, the hyacinths’ fragrance 
 

Pass the hurdles of darkness, without fear or scare.
 

These are life’s lessons that I learned from my parents
 

Without mastering science, arts and songs
 

I saw my dad and my mom’s examples; without noticing,
 

I learned that our life is full of joy and power.
 

A clean and determined heart is worth hundred undecided;
 

This will pull it closest to miracles and to its savior
 

The pure heart can burn in the flame of love
 

May it be at night, in the fog or in day light.
 

Help arrives without our claim and when we need it the most
 

Bursting from our innermost self and from far away
 

Like the herbs that we plant and the wild ones,
 

Which cover the meadows like in a picture book.
 

To learn history or to learn flying
 

One needs to put one’s heart and oneself into it
 

In your life, go forward with ardor and faith

Equipped with a pure will, happiness and joy.
