L'âge
Laissons les choses à leur place
Lorsque nous prenons de l'âge
Regardons bien la vie en face
Pour garder une bonne image
On n'est pas ce que l'on pense
Quand on est libre, on avance
Le passé peut nous basculer
Lorsque nous serons les aînés
Aimer, vers, chants et musique
D'une langue ou d'une autre
À nous-mêmes nous le devons
Afin d'atteindre notre tréfonds.
Tout passe dans la vie,
Les problèmes et les maux
Endormis que nous sommes,
Ne ratons pas l'heure du flot.
Le vieil âge nous rend beaux
Car nous sommes bien rodés
Pour ne pas tomber dans le faux
Il faut surtout cesser de douter
Guéri du passé et des maladies
De l'orgueil, et de l'ignorance
Restons dans notre monde béni
Avec notre sagesse et innocence.

Les fleurs de mon jardin
Les fleurs de mon jardin
J'aime les fleurs et je les comprends
Je les regarde, elles me rendent content,
Mais de honte et de pudeur
Elles me cachent leur vraie splendeur.
Avec leurs pétales et leurs couleurs
Elles dégagent le charme et le bonheur
Si je les observe avec mes yeux
Elles grandissent sous le ciel bleu.
Elles n'aiment pas être dévoilées
Les admirer mais sans toucher.
Elles grandissent tout en cachette
Et me font sentir mon bien-être.
J’aime les fleurs et les planter
Le matin j’aime bien les arroser
Elles s’épanouissent au soleil
Tous les jours elles m’émerveillent
J'aime les fleurs mais pas en bouquets
Je les préfère vivantes et pas coupées.
Je les soigne et les arrose tous les jours
Elles me montrent leur beauté à leur tour.

C’est aussi ma terre
C’est aussi ma terre
La terre ne se laisse pas faire
Elle remet ce que les hommes
Ont fait à tort et à travers
Dans son magnifique royaume
Ne vous inquiétez pas,
Le printemps reviendra
Les fleurs pousseront
Et les malades guériront
Notre monde sera à nouveau
Paisible, doux, calme et beau
Comme le disent les sages
Qui ont atteint un bel âge
Soyons confiants et joyeux
Car nous sommes des amoureux
Pas comme ceux qui ont peur
Mais des êtres avec cœur

The Power of a Smile
The Power of a Smile
“Smile to life and life will smile to you,” my mom used to say. I’m adding, “We could be very happy if we would not think about tomorrow”. Let our destiny do its work as everything is in us.
We should try to be always happy and we should surround ourselves with joy. The future will always be different than we thought. Of course it is our duty to do our best in every circumstance, whether it is at home, at work, or elsewhere.
It is not always possible to maintain our soul at the same height. But everyone should try to be his or her own guide. When the day does not seem to be as we would have liked it to be we should allow ourselves to do something that makes us happy or to offer to someone else something that makes him or her feel good.
This may be just a smile or a nice word or gesture. We should not let sadness or the worries overcome us. It is not only others that we make happy but mainly we make ourselves happy. By acting so we open the sources of joy and happiness for us and for others.
Smile
Smile, smile, fill yourself
With joy, love and smile
Humans are sensitive to life
Sensitive to love and to smile
If you understand this part
You will understand smile
You will discover life
As it is, with your heart
In your heart you will see
The vibrant look of love
That you cherish the most,
The smile in your heart

Trust
Trust
The best about tomorrow
Which heals our sorrow
Is the promise of the light
When the sun shines bright,
Filling our heart with hope
Showing us its scope
So everyone can cope
And climb life’s slope
If we just keep steadily going
Happiness will soon be showing
That we are on the right way
And can put our trust in today
Fearing tomorrow is blasphemous
As our spirit is always with us
Guiding us in love and light
Till with ourselves we unite.

Life on Earth
Do we know why we are here?
Life on Earth
We are still guessing, no one agrees
No one dares disturbing his ease
Anyone remembers why we are here?
Actually, we don’t talk, as we fear
Before we succumbed to the shock
We felt the strength of a large rock
Those who remember are brilliant
Others, left guessing, are resilient
At the end of our struggling tourney
We see that life is a training journey

Gifts of Life
Gifts of Life
A moment of life
Cannot be kept
If we don’t live it
Its loss we accept
The time we sleep
Is definitely lost
But gives us strength
For journey’s length
Natural beauty
Has its value in store
Is self-sufficient
Needs no decor
Accept gifts of life
They are not in vain,
They are special,
Bring you only gain

Our Raison D’être
Our Raison D’être
Our raison d’être is not to be blind
But of a happy, good-hearted nature
And not to be stubborn but be kind
Be always gentle and friendly
Simply acting with serenity
Guided by life and necessity
Let us grow like a seed in the land
Let our flame be above water and sand
To light our soul without any end
