The Life of Alexander, One Among Us All

Life does not give you the people you want,
It gives you the people you need,
It deals out the errors that mark our paths,
It yields to grief, which is Love’s dress.

Life does not give you an eternal heart,
The work of the living will always win.
It works for Nature without judgement,
And arms our tears with a criminal look.

Life does not give you happiness, it does not give you money,
It is precious, but do not be afraid,
Life is a trial, an examination,
It is dangerous, be careful when you gather its fruits.

Life does not give you a golden health,
And grows empty if you lose your horizon,
It is trouble if you do not trust yourself,
Life is not pure, accept your mistakes.

Life will not give you the love that you wish for,
It distinguishes the people that require respect,
It is a family tree that is yet to be drawn,
It is forever the beautiful truth.
Life does not give you many options,
It does not come free, take your time, breathe.
It is made of choices, but there is no pressure,
It is far more beautiful, stay away from the worst.
Life lets you decide for friendship,
And allocates all of its originalities,
It gives you people who are unique,
A friend will always make your life magic.
