Looking desperately downward, to the base of the bridge
Eyes behind the sunglasses
Skin covered by sun-proof cream
And diamonds hanging on the neck
Too much money deposited in the banks
Owning 5 companies worldwide
And 3 awesome villas in picturesque beaches
Still looking desperately downward, to the base of the bridge
To make sure if the suicide would be successful
/
Looking sadly to the kids
"Dad will come soon with something to eat"
Waiting in silent for the days of prosperity
And assured of help and support of the own life's personal legend
Kissing cheeks of her beloved kids
And counting down the moments of waiting for her life's love
"Dad comes kids..."
Two kids enjoy eating scrap breads with cheese flakes and wild berries
And the parents enjoy looking at their children faces satiated with the delicious dinner
As kids sleep
She and He sleep besides the kids
Hugging each others body and soul
Physically tired of a hard day
Mentally calm and serene
With a heart beating with a rhythm full of love and faith
And the blue hope of coming a tomorrow happier than today...
