SEED OF LOVE
Life goes by and everything goes by
The storm has passed
Taking the seed together
To sprout elsewhere
Born with all beauty
Beautifying nature
Beautiful fruits in the orchard
Never forget
Start again
With love and determination
Do not be afraid to change
We are born, we grow and we die
Every day is a new day
With the beauty of the dawn
The sun rises every day
Always beautiful dusk
Plant in your heart
The seed of love
And she will never die
In life, everything goes by
But keep the the love to yourself
