Letter to my daughter

The vine of life
Climbs on the silky thread of time.
And we go high up
Looking at the pale sky
In rains,
In storms,
In dazzling sunlight.... Strong sometimes
Sometimes the dark shadows of clouds
Wrap around us
Not to withdraw us from life,
But to be with ourselves...

We are climbing the silky thread of time
With the ease of the moon
That radiates soft light -
To make us beautiful,
To make the world beautiful
And a place to live.....

With the ease of rivers that flow
Reflecting the sun, the moon, the stars..
To let us enjoy the cool breeze
While we dissolve ourselves in the starry lights....

We grow with time, Dear!
We become greener, no matter what
As trees grow -
Their roots search
And reach the waters underground.


And if you know what silence is,
Then the strings of life unseen
Will start playing their tune
And your soul will dance a beautiful dance
On the silky thread of time.

And if you know what peace is,
The cosmos will smile a tender smile
And your soul will write the poem of love
On the silky thread of time.

And if you know what hope is,
Time will let you cross its speed
And the world will melt in the light of thine......
