Little Song about Life Life is so beautiful and fragile. When we hold it too tight, when we try to seize it with both hands, we risk smothering it, constraining it. When, on the contrary, we neglect it, without giving it care, it wears out, it withers. We may find ourselves in a precarious state when life becomes indifferent to us. Thirty-six billion living cells count on us to carry on, to prolong life through us. It is a great responsibility to be a living person. And this person, we must respect, we must accompany. For life is so beautiful and fragile. We must, with strength and skill, learn to take care of this fragility.
