We have time

The poem below was written by Octavian Paler , a romanian writer and i translated it for those who like to stop and think from time to time to what are we really doing ...


We have time for everything.
To sleep, to run left and right ,
To regret our mistakes, and to fail again
To judge others ,and to absolve ourselves from our sins
We have time to write and read
To correct what we`wrote, and to regret it also
We have time to make plans , and to not respect them
We have time for dreams, and to go through their ashes later,
We have time for ambitions and sickness,
To blame destiny and the details
We have time to weatch the clouds, the commercials, or an accident ,
We have time to postpone questions , to postpone the answers,
We have time to kill a dream and later reinvent it ,
We have time to make friends, and to lose them,
We have time to receive lectures, and to forget them also,
We have time to receive gifts and to no tunderstand them,
We have time for everything.
But there is no time for a little love, kindness
When we want to do it, We die,
I have learned a few things in life that i want to share with you !!
I have learned that you cant force someone to love you
The only thing you can to is to be a lovable person.
The rest depends on the people around you .
I have learned that however much i care,
Others might not.
I have learned that it takes years to win trust
And that in a few seconds you might lose it!
I have learned that it doesnt matter WHAT you have in life but Who you have.
I learned that your charm will help you for about 15 minutes,
After that , you better know something,
I have learned that you dont have to compare yourself with what others can do better .
But with what you can do better.
I have learned that it doesnt matter what happens to people,
But what can I do to solve it,
I have learned that however you cut it,
Everything has two sides,
I have learned that when you have to say goodbye to someone you love, you have to be kind,
It might be the last time you see them .
I learned that you can keep going ,long after you said you cant ,
I have learned that HEROEs are those who do what needs to be done , at the right time,
No matter the consequences ,
There are people that love you ,
But dont know how to show it.
I have learned that when i am mad I have the RIGHT to be mad,
But it dont have the right to be mean,
I have learned that true friendship goes strong even when distance is involved,
The same happens with true love.
I have learnedthat, if someone doesnt love you the way you wanted,
It doesnt mean they dont love you with all their heart.
I have learner that, no matter how good is your friend
He will always hurt you from time to time,
And you will have to forgive him for that .
I have learned that it isnt always enought to be forgiven by others, SOmetimes you have to forgive yourself.
I have learned that it doesnt matter how bad you are suffering,
The world wont stop its course for your pain,
I have learned that the past and circumstances might influence your personality,
But YOU are responsable for WHAt you become.
I have learned that, if two people fight, it doesnt mean that they dont love each other,
But also if they dont fight , doesnt prove they love each other.
I have learned that sometimes you have to put the person FIRST
And not its acts.
I have learned that two people can look at the same thing
And see very different .
I have learned that no matter the consequences,
Those who are true to themselves reach higher,
I have learned that your life can be changed in a few hours,
By people that dont even know you
I have learned that when you thing you have nothing left to give,
When a friend needs you , you will find the strenght
I learned that writing , as talking
Can bring peace to you pain
I have learned that , the people you care most about ,
Are taken too quick...
I have learned that it is way to hard to realize,
Where to drw the line being courteous , not to offend people,and to sustain your own opinion.
I learned to love
So that I can be loved.
