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.

ALWAYS THINKING
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...
SWEET CHARLOTTE
Breath of Life Life, who would I be, if I were not what I am today?For shure I would not be called Charlotte or sweet Charlotte... As I am known at home. I could have another names! Laura, Rita or Caroline!But, with such different names, I would not be the sweet...
LOVERS IN LOVE
Breath of LifeI will cry out one day like a lover in love,With the same force when Spring comes,Covering once more trees with newly born leaves,And bringing life to the huge flourishing fresh fields. I will cry out one day like a lover in love,With the same intensity...
