May God forbid me to lose ROMANTICISM, even though I know roses don’t speak…May I not lose my OPTIMISM, even knowing that the future that awaits us may not be so happy…May I not lose the WILL TO LIVE, even though life is, in many moments, painful…May I not lose the desire to HAVE GREAT FRIENDS, even though I know that, as the world goes around, they end up leaving our lives…May I not lose the desire to HELP PEOPLE, even though I know that many of them are incapable of seeing, recognizing, and giving back, this help…May I not lose BALANCE, even though I know that countless forces want me to fall…May I not lose the WILL TO LOVE, even though the person I love the most may not feel the same feeling for me…May I not lose the LIGHT AND SHINE IN THE EYES, even knowing that many things I will see in the world will darken my eyes…May I not lose GRIP, even knowing that defeat and loss are two extremely dangerous opponents…May I not lose REASON, even though I know that the temptations of life are countless and delicious…May I not lose the FEELING OF JUSTICE, even knowing that the harmed one may be me…May I not lose my STRONG EMBRACE, even knowing that one day my arms will be weak…May I not lose the BEAUTY AND JOY OF SEEING, even knowing that many tears will spring from my eyes and run down my soul…May I not lose LOVE FOR MY FAMILY, even though I know that it would often require incredible efforts to maintain its harmony…May I not lose the desire to DONATE THIS HUGE LOVE that exists in my heart, even though I know that it will often be submitted and even rejected…May I not lose my desire to BE BIG, even though the world is small… And above all…May I never forget that God loves me infinitely!That a small grain of joy and hope within each one is capable of changing and transforming anything, because…LIFE IS BUILT IN DREAMS AND MADE IN LOVE!
