This work is dedicated to
❖ To those who have seen the light, but haven’t got any
helping hand… So, they seek their way facing thorns of
life with their soft hands...
❖ To those who confronted the dryness of life ... So
planted a tree in every trail to resist the long summer
day collapses ...
❖ To those who have lit candles to illuminate the way for
those who would walk after them…
