I Was Waiting For My Lucky DAy

I was waiting for my lucky day,

I was sad and accepted waiting,

Then the boring days passed away.

And I started to wait for the dating.

And I couldn't let my soul sleep.

My crazy thoughts were so deep.

My feelings grew stronger,

When days became longer.



 

I was waiting for my lucky day,

It should certainly come in May.

Dasy flower is not a miracle.

In the su...

Tomorrow I Will Retire

 

Teach me to understand the fineness!

Wean me from boredom and laziness!

Manifest to me many times kindness!

I am your slave, but… please…

Don’t put me on my knees!
 

I love you, I love you my father and mother,

I strongly believe in the great mystery of yours,

Only you can forgive me as I am a sinner,

Only you can understand me and do not curse.

I am ...

Something about me

 

I will tell you about me like this:

I will never be tall,

I will never be small,

I will never be a man,

I will never be a football fan.

I would certainly like to have coffee in bed,

but  it looks so sad,

as I’ll have to get up,

without any make up,

then … to dress, then to undress.

I will never jump as high as 2 meters,

because…I won’t be able t...

my life

I am not.....

I am not the sun,

I do not radiate light,

I like to have fun,

don't like to fight.



I am not the sun,

I can't live alone,

even having fun

I'd like to be flown.



Someone calls me sunny

and I certainly like it,

but prefer to hear honey,

for me it's more a fit.



I am not the sun,

I am just a woman.

Yes, I like to ...

my life

I am one of those.....

 

I am one of those who likes to live,

to be a friend and to forgive.

I am one of those who hates a lie,

if it were for me a war I would deny.

I am one of those who likes to dream,

if to play games then in a family team.

I am one of those who likes to sing

and listen to the bells ring.

I am one of those who likes to laugh,

the time with my dear ones is no...

If I am strong

If I am strong.

Is it a compliment to be strong?
I think it's not that and it's wrong.
If I am strong
Do I have to ignore my feelings?
They think I am like a steel
And will survive and cope with any drilling.
If I am strong
I would  be able to overcome all those shrill feelings.
Is it really wrong to be strong?
But what should I do with my feelings?
It's so painful to b...

my life

I like to live my own life

I can smile,

Though sometimes it's so hard to do.

I can laugh,

Though sometimes the tears are running down.

I can look sometimes so lightminded,

And...sometimes...so thoughtful.

I can joke, I can bear a lot of things,

But...sometimes I can't give away my offences,

And can't stand any pretences.

And...at those horrible moments

My soul pains hardl...

my life

I am as I am

I think it doesn't sound strange

if I don't want to be changed

but... just to be as I am.

I often hear some people say:

you ought, you should, you must.

You should work hard

and do everything fast.

But...I am grateful to the Lord

and take it as a reward

to be as I am.

There are some people

who want to meet me,

they say they need me;
