Sharing Dreams/Compartiendo Sueños 2005:
Dreams of Peace/Sueños de Paz

Faustino Pérez

Life is Struggle
People should learn from experience
That there is a difference between giving
a hand and helping a soul
That you have to learn to build all your
own paths
Because tomorrow’
This land is uncertain for projects
And the future has the habit of falling
into a vacuum
That what’s important is not what you have but who you have
That circumstances and the environment influence us,
But only we are accountable for what we do
That it doesn’t matter where you arrive, but where you go
And if you don’t know, any place is the same
That heroes are people who did what was required
And faced consequences
That at times
The person you think will step on you when you fall
Maybe one of the few who will help you up
That when you are angry, you have the right to be
But not the right to be cruel
That with the harshness that you judge
You will be judged
And perhaps condemned
That no matter into what number of pieces your heart was broken
The world will not stop to fix it
Only then will you know what you really can withstand
That you are strong and will go farther than you thought
When you think you can go no more
And that life is valuable
When you have the courage to face it

William Shakespeare
