i make a deal with myself <br />everyday i must find a way <br />to make other people happy <br /> <br />tough deal <br />but i must: connect the missing <br />link of love <br /> <br />find the lost photo album <br />of the spinster <br /> <br />bring the old man at <br />the metro station <br />and described to his blindness <br />the colors that i see <br />the music that lies in the heart <br />amidst the noise <br />of this world <br /> <br />little pleasures of the hands of children <br />dipping fingers <br />on the cool water of the creek <br />by the side of <br />the big canal <br />of an old house abandoned <br />by the couple <br />that i must make them <br />to reconnect <br />on love letters long gone <br />i must retrieve <br />what has been fading <br /> <br />there is a lonely man sitting <br />waiting <br />i must provide him with another name <br /> <br />tough deal <br />but worth it, it is.<br /><br />RIC S.
