Love and marriage both call for hard work
          My mind, my thoughts, my heart and my             myself better, my weaknesses and strengths,
         emotions filled my home.                           I saw my real friends and now I know better
          During a walk I saw a picture in me that          what I want and what I do not want or do not
         clearly showed me in my current situation          want anymore.
          I saw a big hole in the ground like a well         The sun is shining outside, I can already see
         and I tried to climb out. The upper body was       the first sailing boats on the water and it is
         already outside and I’m leaning on the edge        slowly getting warmer. Spring is coming.
         of the fountain. But the legs were still down      Everything wakes up from hibernation and
         in the shaft. I saw the sky, the surroundings,     starts to live again.
         but I couldn’t quite get out of the hole. In        What more do we want?
         between the arms buckled again and again            A very dear friend of mine told me that if
         because of the exertion, but I no longer fell      chocolate melts you keep it in the fridge, it is
         deep into the shaft. Later I tried to raise my     still chocolate but not like before.
         legs, first one, above the rank so that I could
         pull myself out properly. Then the second.         The winner takes it all
         It worked. What an effort. I lay completely        I don’t want to talk
         weak next to the hole and was so happy that        About the things we’ve gone through
         I had made it.                                     Though it’s hurting me
          The effort has paid off.                          Now it’s history
         It’s the little steps, the little good moments     I’ve played all my cards
         that made me go on.                                And that’s what you’ve done too
          Always knowing that I can do it.                  Nothing more to say
         I chose the way to go through the unknown          No more ace to play

         And I have found that there is a new one           The loser standing small
         behind it, my new life.                            Beside the victory
          Some challenges have remained the same,           That’s her destiny
         but many are new and exciting. I got to know
