    The Prayer

    [​IMG]


    While the earth is still spinning,
    While the light is still bright,
    Lord, give to everyone,
    What he does not have:

    Give to the wise man the head,
    Give to the coward a horse,
    Give the happy money ...
    And do not forget about me.

    While the earth is still spinning, -
    Lord, the power is yours! -
    Give to the rushing to power
    To gut himself with governing.

    Give a rest to the generous,
    At least till the end of the day,
    Give to Cain a remorse ...
    And do not forget about me.

    I know that you are able to do everything,
    I believe in your wisdom,
    As the soldier, killed in battle,
    Believed that he lives in Paradise.

    How do every ear believe
    To your quiet speeches,
    As we also believing,
    Not knowing what we are doing!

    Lord, my God,
    Green-eyed mine!
    While the earth is still spinning,
    And this is strange even to herself,

    While she still has enough
    Time and fire,
    Give to everyone a little bit and
    Do not forget about me.​

    "When a bird is alive... it eats ants...when bird is dead...ants eat the bird.
    Time and circumstances can change at anytime. Don't devalue or hurt anyone in life. You may be powerful today. But remember. Time is more powerful than you!!! One tree makes a million matchsticks...But only one match stick needed to burn a million trees..."

    "Most people can stay excited for two or three months. A few people can stay excited for two or three years. But a winner will stay excited for 20 to 30 years - or as long as it takes to win."
