if you can't feel love
then
you are only breathing*

not living

Small bird, singing sweet bravery
into the grey, morning cold,

Could it be that the half moon heard you?

A yellow bowl of light
rose in the East in the first few
minutes of this bright new year,
and the morning star smiled down on her.

Could it be that the rising sun heard you too?

Wooly clouds parted again when dawn arrived,
rows of icicles transforming into sparkling chandeliers
in the first orange rays of this New Year's Day.

May we thank you, small bird, for showing us the way?

You are my forever
You made me live with smiles and not with tears
You made me trust again and believe in myself
You strengthened my faith and took out my fears
You put back the laughter and smile on my face

You are my forever
And I promise to God I will fight for you
I won't make you sad or make you blue
I won't let you feel unimportant, and won't let you go
I won't be tired of saying "I love you" and "I do"
