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 |
