There's an old saying that goes like this; all that glitters is not gold; meaning the attractive external appearance of something is not; repeat NOT a reliable indication of its true nature. I neither know nor care who created this fantasy art, but it's eerily accurate as a pictorial example for the aforementioned proverb.

Every afternoon, when the man on the bed by the window could sit

salvation is a never ending happiness

you need to accept Him
acknowledge Him to your life
He is yesterday,

I’m puzzled.

Early in the morning you wake up

You prepare the food and the other stuff

Waiting for Your children to open eyes to see your love

You extend your hands though it could be tiring

Exhaustion doesn’t prevent you in presenting your unconditional compassion

Some of Your children refuse to acknowledge, that the affection you’ve shown is genuine

They pledged how paradoxical it was to be associated with you, it is a mere imagination

You lean your ears to them; they don

There is an island, the island of love....  it seems like a lost paradise.
This island is filled with flowers, colored birds sing their tune... you can smell the fragrance and lose the senses. It is this island with green meadows, clear rivers, blue lakes, fruits on the trees and grain on the fields. The high sky with sun and moon separates day and night.
Listen to the melody of silence ... only birds sing ... to open our souls and make our hearts beat, let vanish the doubts to believe in love.
