Time

 

                        

        

   Time flows like a river

    Carving its own path

    Each day can deliver

    Peace, joy, doom or wrath.

    Past is gone forever

    There's no turning back

     On its tough endeavour

     Time stays on its track.

     It's a long and arduous trip

     In which we are all involved

     Passengers on a large ship

     Full of problems to be solved.

    

    Sometimes there are gruelling hours

    Full of pain, hardships and fright

    When we gather all our powers

    To maintain the boat's course right.

    Once the obstacles removed

    And the river's calm and cool

    Our lives may be improved

    Yet we're still slaves of time's rule!

The Arrival of the Spring Makes Me Smile

Today, the 1st of March, marks the beginning of the spring in my country, and even if it's dark and rainy outside, I can't stop smiling and feeling a surge of optimism taking over my soul.

There's a big smile on my face, just as in the picture above showing a happy face on a bench in the park of my hometown, at the thought that the dreaded winter is slowly giving way to the lovely spring, and within a few weeks everything will be green once again, the sun will shine and the combination of views, sounds and smells associated with the spring will make me feel again more alive than in the past few gruelling months of winter.

Every year the arrival of the spring symbolises the rebirth of nature and a restart, a new vave of hope and lust for life that makes me feel great again. May this spring be a wonderful season for everyone!
