"EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON YOU You're as heavy as the ground pulls you/ As light as your wings flutter./ You are as ALIVE as heartbeats,/ As young as your eyes see the distance.../ You are as GOOD as the people you LOVE,/ As BAD as the people you HATE./ Whatever the colour of your eyebrows and your eyes are/ Your colour is what the one facing you sees.../ Don't think that what you lived is what you gained:/ You're so close to the end as you lived; however long you live./ Your life is as long as you love.../ You are as happy as you can SMILE/ Don't be SAD, KNOW that you will SMILE as much as you CRY/ Don't think that everything is over,/ You will be loved as much as you love./ The value NATURE gives you is in the rise of the SUN/ And YOU are as human as the value give to the ONE FACING YOU./ If you will lie one day,/ Let the one you adress believes you as much as the trust for you./ The longing for the loved one is in the MOONLIGHT,/ And you are so close to your love as you long for./ Don't forget, you are as wet as it rains,/ As warm as the sun warms you./ YOU are as ALONE as YOU feel ALONE/ And as STRONG as you FEEL STRONG./ You are beautiful as you feel beautiful./ THIS IS LIFE!/THIS IS LIVING!/ You live as much as you REMEMBER THIS,/ When you forget this, you feel as COLD as every breath you take./ And you are forgotten as soon as you forget./ A flower is as beautiful as it is watered,/ Birds are sweet as they chitter,/ A baby is a baby as it cries./ And you know everything as much as you learn, learn this as well: You are loved as much as you love."Poet: CAN YUCEL
