LOVE IN MY PALM 

The night is silent, deserted and settled

A child’s voice in my ear tells me to catch a star

I should put on wings to fly in the sky, shouldn’t I, kid

How come otherwise I could reach the endlessness of the universe

Hold my hands, says the child

Hand in hand we fly by going under the rainbow

He claims that you can get anything you want if your heart is filled with love

My heart skips a beat when I caught the star

As that one star falling to the sky from the child’s hand, it became a thousand stars

I sent peace, friendship and love to the universe, he said

Tears in his eyes

Tears in my eyes

Hope in our hearts

While returning to our world, the child let go of my hand, I could not catch it

In my palm, a little star with full of love stayed
