One Day.
One day, before I die;


I will fly in a balloon above the world
And adopt a little orphan girl,
I will donate to the poor my very last penny
And give them food when their stomachs are empty.        
I will write about all of the woes in my life,
Sleep under the stars from some mountain high.
I will dance in the rain but remember the droughts
As I help dig a well for those going without,
The life saving water I consider not each day,
I will hold hands with the sick and endeavour to pray,
For those who will never know love as I do,
Or see a sun rise in a morning view.
I will consider what freedom really means,
As I walk through a park or stand by a stream,
I will think of those who have borrowed time,
As they hold hands with lovers who live in denial.
I will appreciate all that I have in this world,
And stop wishing that I was some other girl,
I will be thankful for all of my memories
For those who have loved me; my family.
I will do all of these things, before I’m old and grey,
Before father time ebbs my life away.
I solemnly promise, I’ll do it;
.......                One day.

A beautiful promise, being able to write of it you are already able to realize it, now, because "one day" is too far away ...

Your heart shines through beautifully.

Love,
Margherita

The soul is oftentimes a battlefield where reason and judgement wage war on passion and appetite.

Illusive One, you truly are an angel.

May you live for a long, long time. The world needs more people with spirits as full of Light as yours.

Love & Light ~ and a great, big hug!

Margherita,

Your words made me smile so much. Very sweet of you, thank you. It is wonderful to know that something one writes may even a little touch their soul.

Thank you.
