&quot;Love is not opening your eyes but opening your heart.&quot;<br /> &quot;You see not with your eyes, But with your heart.&quot;<br /> &quot;Think first with your heart not your head.&quot;<br /> &quot;If it has a heart, It is human.&quot;

Life is a mystery
That is the history
Of the everlasting
Person passing

To take part
In this task
Is all that’s asked
Of your mask

It has begun
Time to run
Once away
There’s none to stay

Then underground
Is the final round
Of steps to take
That we shall make
