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

I WISH I COULD LIVE INTENSELY
Breath of Life I wish I could live intensely, The time lost in the past, The lifeless past time, The time lost in life. I wish I could live intensely, Because time has not given me its time, Because I didn't feel the time in time, Simply... because I didn't have time....
