'As If....' Poem by Lindemberg Pereira da Silva

Let's live each day
As If they were the first ones.
Let's rhapsodize love
As if it was to last forever.

Let's share our friendship,
As if it was a countless thing.
And to long for tomorrow,
As if today and yesterday
weren't enough.

Let's dream every night,
As if it came true at the morning.
Let's face our fears,
As if they were nothing but
enemies we've built.

Let's fight for our rights,
As if we had nothing to lose.
Let's reflect every failure,
As if they were something more
we have to learn.

Let's offer our gesture,
As if they were piece of ourselves.
And to accept every stone thrown against us,
As if they were a new castle to build.

Let's live everyday
As if they were the first ones.
And to rhapsodize love,
As if it was to last forever.
