I believe we shouldn't wait until certain age to appreciate any moment
in our lives.
If for a moment God would forget that I am a rag doll, and give me a piece of life, may not say everything I think, but ultimately think everything I say. I would value things not for their worth, but what they mean. I would sleep little, dream more, understanding that for each minute we close our eyes,lose sixty seconds of light.I would walk when others hold back, awake when others sleep, listen when others talk, and How to enjoy a good chocolate ice cream ...! If God give me a piece of life, dress simply, throw me face first into the sun, exposing not only my body but my soul.My God, if I had a heart .... write my hate on ice, and wait for sunrise. Paint with a Van Gogh dream of the stars on a poem by Benedetti, and a Serrat song would be the serenade I'd offer to the moon.With my tears I would water roses, to feel the pain of their thorn sand the incarnated kiss of their petals ...My God, if I had a piece of life ... would not let a day pass without telling the people I love, I love her. Convince each woman that she is my favorite and I would live in love with love. A would show men how wrong they are to think that they cease to love they age, not knowing that they grow old when they cease to love. To a child I would give wings, but let him learn to fly. In the old, my parents, teach them that death does not come with old age but with forgetting. I have learned so much from you men .....I've learned that everyone wants to live at the top of the mountain,without knowing that true happiness lies in the way up the slope. I learned that when a newborn child squeezes his tiny fist for the first time the finger of his father, he has him trapped forever. I learned that a man is only entitled to look to another man down when he has to help him up. So many things I have learned from you, but ultimately will not serve much because when I keep them within this suitcase,unfortunately I will be dying ...."
Inspiring and profound words, some of which looks like an organized plan. Amazing poetical style of writer. However, the topic of God sometimes may create debates.
