My Parents’ Good Lessons
How beautiful is life, when we take it as it is!
Smile at it morning to eve without complaints 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 knowing,
I learned that our life is full of joy and power.
A clean and determined heart is worth hundred undecided;
Its will pulls it closest to miracles and to its savior
Because 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 asking, when we need it most
Bursting from our innermost self and from far away
Like the herbs that we plant and the wild ones,
Which cover the meadows, the hills and the river banks
To learn history or to learn flying
One needs to put one’s heart and oneself entirely into it
Going forward in life with ardor and faith
Equipped with a pure will, happiness and joy.

One needs to put one’s heart and oneself entirely into it
Going forward in life with ardor and faith
Equipped with a pure will, happiness and joy.
