Life can often be tough,
Our paths can often be paved
With large obstacles.

But have you ever woken up,
Early in the morning
To watch the beauty of the rising sun?

Have you ever come out
In the evening
To watch the beauty of the setting sun?

Have you ever come out
In the rain
And felt the joy of the cool drops on your tired, exhausted body?

For that is the romance in living.
The quintessence of life.

Ignoring in our way the large stones,
Waking up early in the morning
To bask in the glory of the rising sun,
Coming out in the evening
To bask in the glory of the setting sun,
Coming out in the rain, closing your eyes
And feeling the joy of the cool drops on your tired, exhausted body…
