Site Opening Page
Welcome, Li Sam!
How do we experience reality, really?
How do we interpret reality, or not?
Everything begins and has an end.
But we are not there yet,
at the end, … or are we?
Here at this Visions and Views site is
where everything begins, and never ends!

Where Horizons Meet
Beyond horizons is where night turns into dawn.
There we dream of a future, it’s there we are born.
Our past may haunt us, making us afraid of the dark.
In our fantasy the light is, it’s there we can find a spark.
The child will guide us to where we need to go.
Deep within we can feel it; we don’t have to know.
Where horizons meet is where past and future merge.
It’s there beyond, within us, where life and love emerge.
Looking back, you see the future as from the other side.
Trust the child within you and you will never need to hide.
Li Sam
This small poem piece very much represents this site in all its
simplicity. It tells about the future, as this site will do too.

Start Introduction
“How do we human beings interact today? And how did we
interact centuries and thousands of years ago? Do we want
to know that, or not?” … like me ‘Li Sam’ curiously asking?
If I were asked to answer those questions…, I would not!
Not that I don’t know the answers. But instead, why not
find those answers out for yourself on this website.
Somehow, all this comes
down to where we all in
the end are heading.
“What does home look
like…, and…, am I
welcome there, or not?”
If we do not know how
home looks or feels like?
“Would we like to know
about that…, or not?”

Under the Surface 2041
Please note that the manuscript of this story was
completed on December 31, 2020, and thus could not
have anticipated how reality after that has
subsequently developed.
Under the Surface in 2041 is a future drama set in
the city of Stockholm, Sweden, and its
surroundings, … and globally too.
Organized crime and the five families’ rule.
A well-balanced kick of coincidence
turns everything upside down.
Linn and Harriet challenge the prevailing order
in a way that no one could have imagined,
and a great political adventure begins.

FOREWORD
What happens when organized crime loses its grip?
What, Who, Whom, will take over?
Sometimes you can think about things that have
happened..., I mean, what would the world look like if
the same things that have happened had not happened?
Historically, we know what has happened up to now, if
the media and all those we blindly believe in, and trust,
are telling the truth.
The future, on the other hand, we know nothing about,
or do we? Or do we not want to fantasize, at all? Or if
we do..., what happens then?
Sometimes we wonder what the future is. A reflection
of the inevitable, our will, or just the way we human
beings and ourselves make the future to be.
Li Sam, 20aug2020.

What if the future is the result of everything we’ve done
up till now, … and like this adventure, with its ending?
“But…, what happens next 2042?”
An adventure like this never really ends. Either we want
more, or not. Like, why should we care about the future
when we can't do anything about it? … or…, can we?
Whether imagination can guide us into our future is an
open question here.
In any case…, a future for sure will pop up after having
listen to this story.
And then…, the answer to that above question “What
happens next 2042?” is: I Li Sam will make my future,
and extend the future of this adventure too, anyway!

Where Horizons Meet
The illustration
accompanying
these poems
is made by:
Lisa Maynard.
Did life happen by chance or was
it somehow planned, just as birth
can be? To find answers about our
existence we have to search far
beyond the obvious and deep
within.
These three poems create an
emotional life cycle of our very
being. We all live and look at
ourselves differently, but from
afar our existence is the same
energy, life as such doesn’t differ.

The King and the Boy!
… a contemporary ancient fairytale.
Life in ancient times may have been
different then, but some of their issues
are still valid, bothering us still today.
This fairytale in all its simplicity tells
us about life and us human beings in a
both specific and general way, where
our true selves, those who we
are, turn into question..

About Facts:
Welcome to this section having
a further look, and listening,
about this small fairytale.
To the left are the issues intro
listed, which you can click on
to read while listening.
Bottom right, you have facts
available in PDF and Site links.
01
Gender can be said differentiates us the most.
Gender regardless of everything else, makes
our personalities as human beings differ.
Strange is that we refer gender as opposites,
almost as black and white, when in fact male
and female can vary so much in appearance.
But still, we identify ourselves as either a man or a woman.
It becomes even stranger when some people within the LGBTQ
community identify themselves as a mix of both genders, a third,
fourth, fifth gender, and so on, and some of them no gender at all.
However, LGBTQ is about ‘Sexuality’ and does not apply here.
So, what decides gender, and what does gender look like?
Some children are born ‘Intersexual,’ a mix of gentiles, hormones,
chromosomes, and more…, which is a ‘Handicap’ and has nothing
to do with ‘Sexuality’ at all. But, how do they know their gender?
02
What is Personality? What makes a person?
… and what makes a person male or female?
No one can be a mother, a boy, or even a King,
just by believing or wishing that. So, what is it
that makes us whatever labels we want to
be…, or by others are assigned to?
The personality of a mother is what we expect a woman to be when
having brought birth to a child…, which has to do with Gender.
Then we have the boy who didn’t fit in with his description, and
the King too ‘what are they’? An institution, function, label, or a
role to play? Whatever and instead: Personality is ‘who’ we are,
both alive and living…, and that is regardless Gender.
Children at birth already know who they are, and their future is a
process living…, which we parents and adults should protect and
allow them their ‘Personalities’ to grow!
03
So now! Either I got both my Gender and
Personality assigned for me by others, or,
I am just who I am. But where do I fit in?
Where can I find me myself living? Is that
‘me who I am’ in charge, or is it that role I
have to play…, how others perceive me?
If we think of ‘Integrity’ as them/who/what is in charge of all those
‘me who I am’ puzzle pieces, isn’t it those others living my life then
and not me? So, to be in charge of one’s life is about ‘Integrity’!
If we for ‘whatever various reasons’ are not in control of our lives,
we have no integrity! That ‘me who I am’ need to show, that’s how
we expand and make our lives living, happen. Fashion and how to
dress is about ‘Looks’ and integrity about ‘Appearence’, the Soul.
You by Mind can control how to dress, but the Soul tells you ‘what’
to wear, allowing your gender and personality ‘Appear’, showing!
INTEGRITY
04
We can always assume and refer things to be
whatever. But how do we reach conclusions,
what are our assumptions based on?
A simple answer would be that we draw our
conclusions based on ourselves, our own lives
living, and the reality as we ‘choose’ to see it.
We can of course read a book and learn from
others, but that’s just education, that’s what
we are supposed to do, right? To perceive someone different than
we assume a person to be is a serious challenge affecting all we are.
From small silly irrelevant details to a major change in gender, we
are hit hard in much the same way as a person changing gender,
and it does have an impact on our integrity, ‘and we don’t like it!’
But let’s say we skip assuming things and instead perceive what’s
honestly presented to us, wouldn’t that turn things around?
05
What/Who we believe in is about trust!
However, trusting another person can be
difficult as it to some extent means that
we give up trusting ourselves, common
sense, and our own judgment. Like for
instance, how to perceive other people.
But strange is that growth in integrity can turn these difficult and
unsecure feelings upside down. The little boy trusted the King, but
not for what he said. Instead, he trusted the King by being allowed
to place the puzzle pieces showing who ‘she’ was.
There’s a difference between believing ‘in’ a person and what that
person says. Believing ‘in’ a person rather than yourself, you lose
integrity. Believing in yourself first off, your integrity grows!
You don’t have to ‘trust’ what other people are telling you is true.
You might be forced to submit…, but that only tells it’s a lie!
BELIEF
06
Within a Kingdome (as well as Democracy), it’s
assumed that we citizens one way or the other
care and looking after each other. For whatever
better or worse it doesn’t quite matter here, but
instead, when, and where to draw the line.
There need to be some kind of border to sort of
protect the Kingdome and its citizens values.
So…, what do we people value the most?
In this tale it can be said that the little boy challenged and crossed
all whatever borders there is by changing gender, but did he?
The only thing changed was the King’s and the little boy’s mother’s
understanding, nothing else. All it took for the King; was to admit
his ignorance in order to understand that the boy, in fact, already
from birth was a girl but born with the ’handicap transsexualism.’
Understanding about all and any handicap, is about INCLUSION!
07
Whatever outside is not relevant unless it’s
threatening us or anyone’s existence.
So, to protect us from fears, we create like
mental Castle Walls surrounding ‘our’
Kingdome excluding unwanted people.
Then further to keep us safe, we vote for a
guardian, a President, or like here, ‘a King,’ and we believe in them
like no questions asked so that we happily can continue our lives
without being bothered with things we don’t want to understand.
And with no questions asked, that outside, for better or worse, start
to fade away from everyone citizen’s consciousness, as that keeping
the people unknowingly happy was what they voted for anyway.
But the King in this fairytale was different. His integrity was strong
and wide enough to expand his understanding beyond, making his
Kingdome citizens ‘Inclusive’ and thus allowing them to grow!
EXCLUSION
08
About you whoever you are, where can I find
you? Are you to be found ‘Inside’ or ‘Outside’
this fairytale Kingdome borders, or, whatever
borders you, or others, have set up for you?
If inside…, how narrow are your borders, and
how many alike you do you feel there are?
And if outside…, will we ever meet?
Like in this fairytale; that little girl the little boy was, was from start
outside, and outside ‘she’ didn’t exist. But what about the little boy,
did he exist inside? And if so, ‘how’ and what did he exist as?
About you…, as in how we perceive others: How do ‘we’ perceive
all those ‘you’ perceiving this fairytale either right or wrong?
Like, if ‘you’ approve to one thing which ‘I’ disapprove of, you are
out! Like, disagreeing on ‘one’ thing makes all other things doesn’t
matter. So, how can ‘you’ and ‘I’ agree on this fairytale…, or not?
YOU
09
This me who I am is a reality which most of
us know nothing about. But as usual we take
most things for granted ‘assuming’ that ‘me’
is the same as ‘who I am.’ But if not, which
of them are aware of ‘me,’ … or, ‘who I am’?
As we grow older and hopefully wiser too, we may think that this
awareness of ourselves has increased and like settled down…, but
really, has it? If we examine ourselves, all puzzle pieces during our
lifetime; are all those pieces really ‘me’ or are they just a mishmash
of what family, friends, people, and society, want ‘who I am’ to be?
To understand here is that the two…, me, and who I am…, differ!
ex. ‘Me’ can feel bad even if ‘I’ don’t want to and here this conflict
shows. Not within the boy, the girl she was, but instead within the
King, aware of one (the girl) whilst perceiving the other (the boy).
So: How that can be, is yet another story, or a fairytale if you like.
ME
10
There are reasons for everything,
and this fairytale is no exception.
That little girl emerging is very
real, in fact much more so than
the little boy ever was in the first place. But it takes some effort to
perceive that little girl after first having met her as a boy.
There is some sense in this, as well as in reality too. The ability to
prevent us from perceiving the little girl is very much the same key
that can be used to unlock most disputes and relation problems. It
all has to do with ‘allowing’ ourselves to open up, observe, trusting
our true self…, and separate what’s real from what is an illusion.
The hard part is what media (and others) are telling us to think, do,
and believe, to fit in! But if we allow us to subside our true self,
whose life do we force ourselves to live then? … and:
Does that life even exist?
CONCLUSION
11
As I started to convert this fairytale from
2005 to speech, I have aged and grown a
lot in understanding. The fairytale itself
is the same, but I have edited the Insight
section based on experience, reality as is,
us, human manifests, and behaviour.
Hopefully, this fairytale with its insights
will make you grow in understanding,
allowing whatever handicapped
child to be inclusive, too.
The LGBTQ community claim representing Intersex and
Transsexual children and teens, instead they ‘use’ their
handicap for own sexual purposes. Feminist activists
and their ‘Gender Science’ claim gender to be a social
construction, which this handicap proves very wrong.

What is it like to discover in old age
that you’ve lived your whole life as
the wrong sex?
This story ‘Behind Waves’ is about the
phenomenon of ’Transsexualism’ and its
complex implications, which is based
on real events. The story starts off in
the Seychelles 2002 and the tropical
beach Grand Anse, located in the
beautiful island, La Digue.
This story is about me, Li Sam…

To sum up this story with its 14
poems is easy and difficult too,
like: “Am I done here, or not?”
The easy answer is: “Yes, I am!”
The more difficult answer, is:
“No, I will never be!”
Easy is giving up try to inform
and tell about this phenomenon
‘Transsexualism’ as no one in the
end wants to know about it.
Difficult for me is, giving in.
So, and about that, what more is
there to say? … What do you say?

A persistent wind keeps whipping the sea,
Where disillusioned we swim like slaves.
“There’s hope ashore for those who flee,”
The wind of change repeatedly raves.
And you’ll never know,
Who will be there to show:
Is it you or me, behind those next violent waves?
Waves approach an empty shore one by one.
Past their tips there’s no help in sight.
“You have to open your mind and run,”
The wind screams out into the night.
As close as we can get,
We place our final bet:
Is it both of us or none; will we come out in the light?
1: Waves - Part 1
What is life, is there a future?
From ashore waves look different, shifting fast,
Sparkling with joy as they fall.
“Look back, now that you’re safe at last,”
The wind whispers as a final call.
When swimming we learn
Bridges back not to burn:
And that our future is past, beyond that last final wall.

At dawn a little girl is about to see the light.
A gentle touch, something is not right.
She has longed with enthusiasm and joy,
But the touches she feels are meant for a boy.
Blindfolded she’s held back by a silent ban,
Not to interfere with her image of a man.
With no friends for comfort or hand to hold,
The little girl does what she has been told.
While her manly image grows strong, but sad,
The little girl collects pieces of a life she never had.
2: Me - Part 1
What life will you have?
The pile of pieces grows high as years pass by.
The little girl cherishes her pile, while wondering why.
Being who I am, is that so wrong?
Her pile grows heavy; her waiting has been far too long.
As pieces of her life fall hard to the ground,
For her only sorrow and pain are there to be found.
Blinded by her manhood image and eternal lies,
Will she ever see her true face, before she dies?

By a boyish image, your path of life is set:
A path where expectations are supposed to be met.
Along the path you follow parents from behind;
You can’t see where it’s leading, your future is blind.
When you learn how to see and behave and what to do,
The path becomes a road, and you are ready to go.
Parents teach looking forward, but friends point aside.
Following the path straight will bring parents’ pride.
Without anyone’s notice, a turning is passed by.
You look back at a girl there, with a tear in her eye.
Not knowing about side paths, you don’t ask “who and why?”
What you know nothing about you can’t deny.
3: Turning - Part 1
Is life possible?
From childhood you are guided from path to road.
Making the path wider means a heavy load.
You follow your parents, trying to look around.
But all diverted thoughts are forced to the ground.
You act like your friends for acceptance in a gang;
An improper move and you are out with a bang.
You practice your skills, seeking admiration and fame.
A failure would bring you and your family lots of shame.
Pushed forward, another turning is passed by.
You look back at the girl there with a tear in her eye.
Now you know about side paths, but that girl, “who and why?”
When no one else sees her, you start to deny.
Turning - Part 2
Is life possible?
Towards social acceptance the road must get wide.
You search for status, finding a suitable bride.
Reaching for family, money, house and car,
You haven’t got time to learn who you really are.
From road to highway, life speeds up again.
Your mind gets narrow and reality insane.
Searching for habits and a cause to be kind,
The highway is straight—there is nothing to find.
Several turnings you now have passed by,
Seeing the same girl there, with a tear in her eye.
From a distance you know who, but yet not why.
The girl is coming closer, and still you deny.
Turning - Part 3
Is life possible?
The girl at the turning, now you know her so well.
She is waiting there for you; she has a story to tell.
You long to hear her and try to slow down,
But your attempts are noticed and met with a frown.
In secret you meet her, hiding within yourself.
You search for her story among books on a shelf.
The books you are finding feel both good and bad,
Yet you can’t find her story, and that makes you so sad.
All missed turnings are your life passing by.
The girl there is you, with a tear in your eye.
You have looked at yourself not knowing why,
That girl is your life, and yet still you deny.
Turning - Part 4
Is life possible?
The burden you carry by others is set.
You believed in promises and all you could get,
But your life was not promised; it was hidden away.
No one knew and there was no one to say.
Now you know that a choice must be made:
The choice of your life, and you are so afraid.
Your life is speeding downhill beyond your control.
You know you have to jump to save your soul.
Ahead is another turning you shouldn’t pass by.
The girl is there, now with a gleam in her eye.
She shows your true path, not another lie.
Never again you yourself will deny.

In a world where ‘morals’ reign over the heart,
Man and woman keep their sexes far apart.
Morals make people see gender as black and white;
Morals hold back love hard and tight.
When man and woman finally meet one day,
There are no colors, only shades of grey.
We, the colorful people, rein in morals with the heart.
We don’t keep our sexes that far apart.
We see the person in people, not just black and white.
We see love as colors, sparkling in the light.
Colors reveal ourselves, with our sexes put aside.
Colors open eyes, letting us see true and wide.
Colors are life, posed as a peaceful white dove.
Colors bring beauty to a person in love.
The End

If no colors; can there be life?

You’ve found the path that shows you where to go.
The truth is there, a truth you didn’t know.
The girl within brings both comfort and relief.
She is showing a way out from all your grief.
She reaches for your hand, and you just give in.
You have nothing to lose but everything to win.
Your life becomes visible beyond all belief.
You feel it in your soul, deep down beneath.
5: Awakening - Part 1
Isn’t that what life is all about?
Following your new path, you follow yourself;
There are no references, no books on the shelf.
To learn, you must know your true self from the start;
And that this new path may tear relations apart.
There are no turnings, no way back anymore.
The path leads forward; there is only one door.
5: Awakening - Part 2
Isn’t that what life is all about?
What before was improper and forbidden to do,
Irrelevant is now; you just have to go.
Leaving safety, family, and friends behind,
There is no one else but you yourself to find.
The girl within brings both pleasure and doubt.
You don’t doubt yourself, but the way you stand out.
Looking in a mirror, is that really you?
You search and find a vision of a clue.
5: Awakening - Part 3
Isn’t that what life is all about?
Confidence in yourself and the way you look,
Safely brings back what manhood took.
Even though sorrow and age made their marks,
The girl is undamaged, and her youth still sparks.
You may be rejected and seen as a fool,
But the girl brings joy and peace to your soul.

Even while looking forward, your mind looks back;
There is a feeling you still have to track.
Your children moved out so long ago,
But someone is there who still emits a glow.
There are those feelings you can’t forget:
Of that wonderful woman you once met.
You have loved her most of your life;
You still love her, and she is your wife.
From the first moment, you gave her your heart.
Will the girl within tear your marriage apart?
You see your wife worry, wondering why.
Will she stay, or is it forever goodbye?
Those thoughts hurt and make you cry.
That feeling—loving your wife—was never a lie.

Standing at the turning, your love goes by.
Still you stand there wondering why.
Your love changed shape from man to girl.
Is your love the oyster, or the pearl?
Pearls are beautiful, but they’re not alive.
Oysters make it happen; they make love survive.
Despite their looks, oysters have a soul.
Do you choose by sight? What is your goal?
Pearls may vanish—still your love may not.
Your love is changing, but it’s all you’ve got.
While waves pass, you stand frozen on the spot.
Does it even matter? If not, then what?
7: Reunion - Part 1
It takes courage to live!
You look around searching, seeing other pearls nearby.
Polished they are—but like pictures—copies of a lie.
Those pearls you lost are still there, both valid and true.
What will it take to regain them, the love you once knew?
The dark narrow path where your love now goes
Looks scary, but down that path her love still glows.
It’s there to guide you—that light wants you back.
Your love is spreading pearls, a path to track.
You may be scared, but what’s there to lose?
Losing your love, is that what you choose?
Even if that path may bring on lots of abuse,
The track of your love you just can’t refuse.
7: Reunion - Part 2
It takes courage to live!
While walking the path you hear jeers everywhere.
Yet the pearl trail you follow—it’s clearly there.
As pearls are changing, you learn who she is:
That girl your man was—her love was his.
The pearl trail is beauty, and yet taunts you hear.
Following it straight, that light becomes clear.
Ignorance and rejection are there all around;
You see hiding souls forced to the ground.
And as the light starts sparkling you see true and wide:
A woman you see, and now for you she doesn’t hide.
As your hands meet, she guides you gently beside.
She’s that girl, the woman you love, deep down inside.

As her manhood image starts to fade away,
The little girl sees the light of a brand-new day.
She looks at herself, she looks around;
She looks for truth, the pieces she found.
The truth in herself was always there.
The truth in her body, she doesn’t know where.
As sunrise shimmers kissing the sky,
The little girl no longer wonders why.
She sees her manhood, but she’s not afraid.
She picks up her pieces that love has made.
She puts them in place, lovingly laid.
Replacing the wrong ones, her body is staid.
The feel of belonging, sensed by some,
She feels it too; a new dawn has come.

At night I see you in bed next to me.
Beautiful as always, you’re lovely to see.
Even if you’re older and miss what age took,
Still there’s comfort and joy in your look.
I look in a mirror, a sight I can’t bear.
I can’t see me; someone else is there.
By day I see children and people move around:
Beautiful too and themselves they’ve found.
No matter their sex, age, or color of skin,
Happiness shines through from deep within.
Looking at myself with a meeting eye,
I can’t see me; someone else passes by.
9: Looks - Part 1
Will ‘my’ life change?
Looking at people, I turn my head.
Talking to people, there’s nothing said.
Following people, I’m nowhere led.
I’m searching for a story that can’t be read.
I have waited so long for a reason to be.
Dear God, can I for once be me?
Back home from work, yet another day.
You are there for me; I want you to stay.
You smile and we talk, as we used to do.
I hug you so hard, I don’t want to go.
Your body is warm, but mine is cold.
Can I, can I ever have my story told?
9: Looks - Part 2
Will ‘my’ life change?
Looking at you, I look everywhere.
Talking to you, my words are bare.
Following you, I’m feeling despair.
If I find my story, will you be there?
I have waited so long for a sight to see.
Please God, can I just once see me?

Born a woman in a manhood shell:
Facing people, whom can you tell?
In spite of knowledge, books on a shelf,
Can you, can you even face yourself?
Up against the wall, the wall of truth:
Am I real or like a shell since youth?
Facing facts that you can’t deny,
Facing your soul will open an eye.
The eye you see with sees true and wide.
You see the wall, but not the other side.
The wall of truth is solid and hard.
It’s there for you, your soul to guard.
10: Facing - Part 1
From within life emerge!
You ask yourself, the bottom of your soul,
What is my destiny, what is my goal?
Your face is hidden, she answers back.
Your face of truth you still have to track.
Trusting your soul your decision is made:
Remove your manhood, yet you are so afraid.
That manhood your shell was, true or not.
Removing it all will show what you’ve got.
As layers by layers are torn away,
The girl in your dreams is there to stay.
Finally facing your true face, your soul,
Your nightmare is over, the end of a role.

When darkness brightens, truth becomes clear.
You look for love, you look through a tear.
Changing sex is like night and day.
When loved ones see, what will they say?
You walk your path, homeward bound.
You wonder how love can be found.
Consider the dark side, how love was then.
Consider loved ones pushing you back again.
Consider still searching, an eternal roam.
Consider yourself not finding a home.
That tear of sorrow you wipe away.
You look at yourself on a brand-new day.
11: Consideration - Part 1
How will ‘my’ life living be?
You know yourself now, you know the truth:
Your life as a woman is starting from youth.
Your body is changing, but not your mind.
Still you are there for loved ones to find.
To be together if there’s a will to try,
Loved ones no longer the girl will deny.
Consider them meeting your mind as before.
Consider them seeing what eyes can’t ignore.
Consider offering them your helping hand.
Consider them learning to understand.
Can tears of sorrow turn into joy?
Can a happy girl replace a sad little boy?
Show who you are; don’t hide from yourself.
Don’t put your story unread on a shelf.

Telling the truth sometimes is hard.
If no one listens, the truth they’ll discard.
Telling a lie sometimes hurts less.
But in time a lie makes life a mess.
Not telling will make others decide.
Others telling will make truth divide.
Broken truth floating around,
Turns into lies stuck in the ground.
Does what is true matter or matter not?
Truth in yourself may be all you’ve got.
12: Telling - Part 1
Where can ‘my’ life be found?
Telling loved ones, family and friends.
Doing it straight, your honor defends.
Not telling is a choice you may choose,
But is that better, or will it let the devil loose?
Even if telling the truth were your stand,
Loved ones from you may take their hand.
If lies suit them better, what can you do?
Truth you can carry if you have to go.
Truth in the long run will do you good,
Even far from where you once stood.
12: Telling - Part 2
Where can ‘my’ life be found?
What you are saying might not be heard.
Words you are saying may sound absurd.
Truth sometimes can be hard to tell.
But never again live a life in a shell.

Like in a tunnel, we search for light in the dark.
It brings us hope—it’s a sign of change, a mark.
Pondering light and what makes it grow,
Should we move there to it, or stay and show?
Time will take us to our most vital goals.
When showing ourselves, we meet other souls.
In darkness we feel others, finding a friend we might.
Soul-friends together walk beyond the night.
How can we tell what is wrong or right?
Not all is measured by speed or sight.
What makes us happy, our future bright?
Love is the answer; love is our light.

A new dawn did come, and as the sun set,
The little girl’s first day she finally met.
Looking around with her glittering eyes,
Bonds of truth and love she gently ties.
Her manhood vanished, and with it, lies did too.
Her heaven is clear, now she knows where to go.
While alone wandering in that nowhere-land,
She found a soul, a friend there, to hold her hand.
That friend caressed her, shared and carried her pain.
The little girl found reasons to be, and to live again.
14: Home - Part 1
Love occurs when sharing life!
Her life, her future she sees ahead.
She now can rest in a truthful bed.
That bed is placed under a joyful dome.
The little girl is happy; she has come home.
The End
14: Home - Part 2
Love occurs when sharing life!
