Seated with a vague stare
Looking towards the infinite,
My soul and mind united,
Reflect on all that lives.

How ephemeral is happiness
In this complicated life,
And how long is the anguish
Of the wait for something better
In one's life.

How bitter is youth
If life does not permit you to live it.
And you were not able to enjoy,
The innocent crazy things of life.

How sad is knowing love
And knowing that such love
is impossible.
How sad is seeing happiness,
Pass by your side And you remain
with your hands empty.

How sad not to love that friend,
Who understands you
and is always with you,
He, who always worries about you,
Waiting for the crumbs
you offer to him.
How sad to see a desperate mother
For her son who is buried in addiction,
Crying out for help,
because she feels
That the world
has crashed down upon her.

How sad is seeing
little girls having children,
Abandoning them anywhere,
As if this were a thing
And not a precious life.

How sad it is to walk
blindly through life
Without knowing the Living God,
Who gives you strength to go on living
In this complicated life.

Today I have seen my soul and my heart
Bleed while weeping, joined in their pain
For all that my soul has seen
And my heart has felt.
