A truly precious thing


*
1.

We were born

on this planet.



We were born

in this world.




�eNow, what shall I do?�f


�eWhat would I like to enjoy?�f




It is almost impossible

to remember

what we were thinking

when we were born,

when we were babies.





Even hard, harder we tried,

even though we tried hard

to remember

what was in our mind.




Even if we

put our hands on

our forehead trying to remember,




It doesn�ft come to us

how we were feeling.




It is impossible for us to remember.



But,


But somehow,


We feel that


we must have been

Happy

when we were born.

I didn�ft know

I was going to have

such a terrible accident.




I didn�ft imagine

I was going to have

such a disease so difficult to treat.




I didn�ft expect

I was going to

experience such a painful broken heart.




He didn�ft understand the fact that

he would be abandoned by his parents

when he was only a baby.




A boy who lived

at the foot of a mountain

didn�ft know that he was handicapped.




A girl from a distant country

didn�ft imagine she would be

discriminated against because of her skin color.
 



That girl who is always wearing her

pretty yellow clothes didn�ft even know

that her birthplace was a battlefield.





No, we didn�ft know.
 

Nor could we have imagined.
 

But somehow,




we feel

that we must have been

Happy

when we were born.





But...
 

Were we happy

because we didn�ft know this fact?
 


Were we happy

because we couldn�ft imagine?
