Breath of Life
I have a wish… To live a dream.
Sleep without thinking without feeling,
That Christmas is coming
And one more year has passed away.
To sleep and not remember that I will not see,
I will not touch and embrace,
My beloved children
Which on Christmas Night far away will be.
That is a wish deep from a mother’s heart,
Who misses dearly her loved ones.
That is a wish deep from a mother’s heart,
Who is not strong enough to live this moment of sorrow.
Christmas night… night of light, joy, love memories.
So many desires… so many hopes.
On this day I will be smiling and singing…
Although my feeble heart will be crying.
But… God is so generous, so good,
That this Christmas I will ask him a special wish.
Not to live a dream, but to return one day to the past
When my children were still close to me.
I will ask to have as before, on Christmas Night my home full of joy.
And my Christmas tree full of colourful lights.
Have as before my children sitting around the table,
And together celebrate a Real Christmas… a Happy Christmas.
At home. London, December 1989

WITHOUT YOU AT HOME
Breath of Life Don't let yourself be defeated Be a winner. Don't get lost and scared in crooked paths In which Life often makes you walk. Step firmly, as if you were walking On fresh green grass, With your will to win, With your will to win Life. Always seek the hope...

MY DIVIDED HEART
Breath of Life I feel my heart divided For those who are close to me and whom I love so much, And by whom, far be it from me... And whom I love very much too. I live with my heart divided, For the immense desire to stay, for the immense desire to leave, Living only in...
