My mom - The Gifts of the Earth - Sanja Gerovac

They used to ask me, What will you live on?

As a teenager, I defiantly replied, Out of love.

It was a lot of fun for me to see their reactions.

I remembered that because my grandmother kept asking me:

Do you think you can live from love?

That answer was cute and fun for everyone,

especially mom’s co-workers.

Now it seems to me that I will live from love,

the one I create for myself.
