I recognize myself in you,
Said the father to the son,
In the depths of our connection,
A bond that can’t be undone.
Amidst the vast universe,
Monsters loom and terror reigns,
Dictatorships cast their shadow,
On this planet filled with strains.
But behold the delicate sunlight,
Its rays caress the Earth’s embrace,
In its warmth, a glimmer of hope,
A beacon of love we can trace.
For within this complex tapestry,
Prosperous democracy blooms,
A symphony of voices united,
In harmony, freedom resumes.
You see, dear child, what is up,
Is mirrored by what is down,
The inner world reflects the outer,
A parallel existence profound.
Life’s essence lies in duality,
The grand and minuscule entwined,
From galaxies vast and far-reaching,
To the tiniest details, refined.
We cannot fathom existence,
Without the interplay of scale,
A cosmic dance of balance,
Where the grand and minute prevail.
So, remember, my beloved one,
In you, my reflection I see,
Together we navigate this world,
Bound by love’s eternal decree.
