Sing Along

 ‘A woman whose mood improves with a book, a poem, a song, or a cup of coffee is not defeated by anyone. Even life…’ - Khalil Gibran

 

 

Learning to Fly, Again...

"Do not confuse dreams with wishes. There is a difference." - Dolly Parton

I lived for my art, I lived for love,

I never did harm to a living soul!

With a secret hand

I relieved as many misfortunes as I knew of.

Always with true faith

my prayer

rose to the holy shrines.

Always with true faith

I gave flowers to the altar.

In the hour of grief

why, why, o Lord,

why do you reward me thus?

I gave jewels for the Madonna’s mantle,

and I gave my song to the stars, to heaven,

which smiled with more beauty.

In the hour of grief

why, why, o Lord,

ah, why do you reward me thus?

Vissi d'Arte - Tosca
