Everything is fine

Based  on the poem
«Живи настоящим»
I have made a translation.

It seems all’s well within your home,
Warmth, comfort, cleanliness — a place to roam.
But deep inside, you know you’ve left the road
Where you could’ve been a different soul, a new abode.

Your choice is made; the ones you longed to see
Are here with you, just as you wished to be.
Then why does sadness, like the universe’s shade,
Lead you toward the home that’s newly made?

As I once said: “We choose the path we tread,
No one can walk it for us, it’s ours ahead.
Just call for help — He’ll come without delay,
But down the trail you’ll have to walk your way.”

While seeking self and finding what’s inside,
I realized: you’ve become who you’d decide.
Without despair, I live — my choice is clear and true,
And memories of childhood drift back into view.

Now grown, I live and dream with heart aglow,
And maybe play a little trick or so:
“Oh, childhood, stay, don’t fly away from me,
While newfound adulthood, go boldly on, be free.”

Whatever I create is mine, it’s dear and kind,
Leaving the past behind, I live this moment’s time.
I love, I breathe, I’ll stay right here, no doubt,
Savoring each instant, letting joy break out.
