The Man Who SingsI


The Man Who Sings I have an uncle who sings He sings the sweet notes of love and joy The love that flows through your veins and has no choice but to escape through the eyes for everyone to see The joy that spreads until everyone has a piece He sings with many words, but none at all I have an uncle who laughs He laughs at everything and nothing at all The sound of his laughter is enough to fill the room and touch all the those surrounding him The kind of laughter that forms deep in your soul and starts erupting from your insides for everyone to enjoy A laugh that is loud, but silent at once I have an uncle who dances He dances in the fields of green of our country His movements so fluid, as if to be in conversation with Nature, the trees, the sky, Heaven I have an uncle who lives He lives to love and loves to live He is extraordinary He lives in his songs of love and joy, His laughter that fills the room His dances in union with nature He no longer lives on Earth, but he is closer than ever
