When the years pass and we grow old

embrace me with your eyes

and touch me with your soul

as your own newborn child!

Hug me gently, yet tightly

to I know that you protect me

and don't give up just like that!

Touch my cheek with a kiss,

and I will keep it like your trust!

Remove the curtains from your eyes,

look at me gently as you once did,

and love me like that at least sometimes.

Love my wrinkles and these hands

which they know to hug

even when they get old.

Still love that child in me,

just love me, love me quietly,

love me a little, because I care.

Love me, dear, when the years pass,

with sight heal me when the pains come.

I will cherish you

and caress you with my soul,

as our newborn child,

just love me, love me a little!
