I believe that this body,
this life,
is just part of a collection.
For deep within my heart,
my soul,
lives no hint of objection.
How could so much learning,
so much living,
be achieved in one lifetime?
For years pass by in a blink,
a second,
as permanent as sunshine.
The artists and the architects,
the poets,
never cease to endeavor.
For masterpieces and monuments,
and poems,
will live to see forever.
If you or I can make something
everlasting,
something eternal,
then you and I are too, everlasting.
You and I are too, eternal.
