Dilige iure bonos et miseresce malis.

“Just let us try
To give these moments back
To those we love
To those who will survive…”
Song lyrics, The Red Shoes (1993)

It can really hurt
These moments given
Are a gift from time.Just let us try
To give these moments back
To those we love
To those who will survive…</p
