Breath of Life 

Life goes, comes... goes...
         Minutes pass, hours pass, days pass.
          So time goes... comes...
           Life goes on.
 
 I see life passing by,
           I feel the longing squeezing,
           I feel like I want
      I want a lot to whom I leave
 
  With time it goes
             Go my life
              With time I give myself
            Whom I love so much in life.
 
    Life that is not mine,
              Life that is hers.
             My life...
            Life I gave her.

ALWAYS THINKING

Nov 7, 1989 |

Breath of Life Full of curiosity one day I asked Life: "Life, who would I be if I wasn't who I am now?" I'm sure it wouldn't be known as Maria Lucia, Maria, Lucia or Lucinha... Maybe it could have other names, like Laura, Rita or Carolina! But with such different...
