Don’t Clean The Dust

Don’t Clean The Dust


Every new beginning starts with a new mood, new attitude, new positive view. Let the old be old and covered with dust. Leave it there, put a smile on your face and start celebrating the new day.

————

Don’t clean the dust.

Don’t worry.

Tomorrow will be the same.

Today is a beautiful day,

Just go with a friend.


Don’t clean the dust.

It will cover the furniture well; 

It will cover the rust, 

Few scratches, the broken lacquer.

This way, nobody will notice,

My friend.


Don’t clean the dust

From the mirror.

It will help to hide what you’ve got:

Few wrinkles, few spots on your face,

And the traits of unpleasant events.

So, what?


Don’t waste your time.

Invite a friend in a rainy day; 

Have cookie and tea; 

Sing a song and scream.

Don’t let others to live your dreams

Somewhere there, out there.


Don’t clean the dust.

If you cannot draw in the mirror

A big happy face;

If you cannot write in the lacquer

“I LOVE YOU, my friend!”

Then…what is the meaning of cleaning?
