MY SOUL HAS A HAT

I counted my years

And realized that I have

Less time to live by,

Than I have lived so far.


I feel like a child

Who won a pack of candies

At first he ate them with pleasure

But when he realized that there was little left,

He began to taste them intensely.


I have no time for endless meetings

Where the statutes, rules, procedures and internal regulations are discussed,

Knowing that nothing will be done.


I no longer have the patience

To stand absurd people who despite. their chronological age,

Have not grown up.


My time is too short

I want the essence

My spirit is in a hurry.

I do not have much candy in the package anymore.


I want to live next to humans,

Very realistic people who know how to laugh at their mistakes,

Who are not inflated by their own triumphs

And who take responsibility for their actions.

In this way, human dignity is defended

And we live in truth and honesty.


It is the essentials that make life useful

I want to surround myself with people

Who know how to touch the hearts of those

Whom hard strokes of life

Have learned to grow with sweet touches of the soul.


Yes, I'm in a hurry

I'm in a hurry to live with the intensity that only maturity can give.

I do not intend to waste any of the remaining desserts.


I am sure they will be exquisite,

Much more than those eaten so far

My goal is to reach the end satisfied

And at peace with my loved ones and my conscience.


We have two lives

And the second begins when you realize you only have one

Bit radical for me in parts but yeah, love it. Thank you my friend for sharing this. Could’ve been worse. It could have been in bloody Portuguese!
