HOPE IN THE AUTUMN SUNSHINE
While leaves were saying goodbye to
The autumn sunshine,
You said goodbye to
The silence of darkness.
While everybody was happy for you,
You started to cry.
Well, well, well!
Didn’t we all cry,
When we tasted the bitterness of reality
For the first time?
And didn’t we have so many hopes,
Yet were disappointed every time?
Oh my dear friend,
Can you say goodbye to
All your experiences, good and bad,
And feel as if you were reborn
In the autumn sunshine?
