Breath of Life
Why fight against time?
Accept the old age that comes without embarrassing yourself.
Without being ashamed of the deep marks that were left on his face,
Showing only a tired countenance of aging.
Why fight against time?
If those marks that were left on your face
They are marks of life left by the challenges,
And for your achievements in this long walk of life.
Why fight what is impossible?
Don’t try to revive in your old and tired body,
Kept memories of your youth and the time gone by.
From that time that will never be able to return.
Why fight against time?
Always try to show a beautiful and serene countenance on your face,
For everyone to see
That you managed to conquer LIFE.

IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY
Breath of Life If you want to be happy Try to be like the deaf who don't hear, The blind who don't see, So that you don't hear and don't see what makes you suffer. If you want to be happy... Try not to remember moments from the distant past, Moments that never come...
WAITING FOR DAWN
Breath of Life Long were the nights of aloneness,Long were the nights of sorrow and pain.Nights having for companion only worrying thoughts,Draining from me my energy… my dreams. Too much energy of my body was gone from this distress,Too many hours of my life are...
ANOTHER DOLL???
Breath of Life But what can I do? I always thought that I would be the only one who could replace the emptiness that my mother felt when her Três Marias, as she called her three daughters Teresa Maria, Claudia Maria and Paula Maria, got married, as well as her son...
PEOPLE
Breath of Life PEOPLE People... are merely people in all the world.They have their feelings,Their anxieties...And at the end of their lives,They will have the balanceOf their entire lives. People... are merely people in all the world.They have several stages in...
