Dust If You Must<\/p>\n

Dust if you must, but wouldn’t it be better
\nTo paint a picture, or write a letter,
\nBake a cake, or plant a seed;
\nPonder the difference between want and need?<\/p>\n

Dust if you must, but there’s not much time,
\nWith rivers to swim, and mountains to climb;
\nMusic to hear, and books to read;
\nFriends to cherish, and life to lead.<\/p>\n

Dust if you must, but the world’s out there
\nWith the sun in your eyes, and the wind in your hair;
\nA flutter of snow, a shower of rain,
\nThis day will not come around again.<\/p>\n

Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
\nOld age will come and it’s not kind.
\nAnd when you go (and go you must)
\nYou, yourself, will make more dust.<\/p>\n

Sterge praful de vrei<\/p>\n

Sterge praful de vrei, insa n-ar fi mai bine
\nSa pictezi ori sa scrii cuiva despre tine,
\nSa faci un tort, sa plantezi o samanta ;
\nIntre \u00ab vreau \u00bb si \u00ab trebuie \u00bb sa faci diferenta.<\/p>\n

Sterge praful de vrei, insa nu sunt ani multi,
\nIn rauri sa-noti, sa te cateri pe munti;
\nMuzica sa asculti si carti sa citesti ;
\nSa-ti faci prieteni, viata s-o traiesti.<\/p>\n

Sterge praful de vrei, insa lumea ti-e cantul
\nCu soarele-n ochi si prin plete cu vantul ;
\nUn zbor de fulgi, o ploaie de vara,
\nAsta zi nu mai vine iara si iara.<\/p>\n

Sterge praful de vrei insa tine minte
\nBatranetea vine si nu-i prea cuminte.
\nIar cand tu vei pleca ( si aici n-ai de-ales)
\nIn urma-ti ramane doar praf, s-a-nteles..<\/p>\n
