Somehow there’s this notion
That I can succeed
Higher, stronger, faster
Than those before me

Somehow a dream persists
   Life isn’t just time and death

But them folks
  Them laid back folks
Who work and live and sing
All their simple lives evoke

It’s grains of sugar on my tongue

Children swim rivers
That I will never see
And orphans become someone
I know I’ll never be

somehow it’s grains of sugar on my tongue

He is so fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose - Jim Elliot

Life is more than time and death, yes.

In children's eyes it's written.

Grains of sugar is a beautiful expression of your heart.

Love, Margherita
