In the dance of hearts, where love begins to weave,
Families bloom, their roots in dreams believe.
Houses rise, and neighbors gather near,
Villages, nations, alliances, crystal clear.
?
From love's gentle spark, a dynasty's might,
Homes and burdens grow, stretching day to night.
A tremor at the core, sending ripples wide,
Life's essence flows, like streams from a lake's side.
?
In circles endless, spreading far and true,
The stream of life, each wave a story new.

In simple moments, profound truths we find,
The stream of life, a mirror to the mind.
