Learn How to Live!

Author: Traian Dorzi
Learn from water to have steadfast way,
Learn from the flames that all is only ashes.
Learn from the shadow to shut down and watch,
Learn from the rock how unwavering to believe.
Learn from the sun how you must set.
Learn from the stones how much you have to say,
Learn from the wind that blows on the paths,
How you should pass through the world so quiet.
Learn from all, that there all your sisters
Nice to go through life, how beautiful you die.
Learn from the worm that nobody's forgotten,
Learn from a lily to always be clean.
Learn from the flames what we have to burn in us,
Learn from the water never to go back.
Learn to be humble like the shadow,
Learn from the rock to overcome the heavy storm .
Learn from the sun how to know the times,
Learn from the stars that the sky is only armies.
Learn from a cricket to sing when your alone,
Learn from moon to never be frightened.
Learn from the eagle when you have heavy shoulders,
And go to the ant to see her heavy burden.
Learn from the flower to be gentle like her,
Learn from sheep to have her gentleness.
Learn the birds to be in continuous flight
Learn from all that everything will pass.
Take account, son of sacrifice, the world in which you pass,
To learn from all that perishes, to have eternal life!
