Breath of Life 

Together, we have always followed the same way in life.
As one, our souls have always lived.
Your smile is my happiness,
Your weeping my very deep sorrow.
 

When I close my eyes,
You are always in my thoughts.
When I feel myself in deep sleep…
You are in my dreams.
 

When in the morning I awake,
I feel you still deep in my heart,
With the same warm feelings,
Of the sun’s rays on a Summer morning.
 

We continue more and more each day,
To discover ourselves growing in our love.
We continue more and more each day,
To discover ourselves in our beloved family.
 

I hope that in the future,
I will have only your chest to rest my head,
For food, only your affection,
To watch me… only your beloved eyes.
 

Together, we have always followed the same way in life.
As one, our souls have always lived.
I hope life never allows us to be apart
Never destroys this love which will be eternal.
