Can you please quote the poem for me?

"Life has left her footprints on my forehead

But i have become a child again this morning

The smile, seen through leaves and flowers, is back, to smooth

Away the wrinkles

As the rains wipe away footprints on the beach. Again a

Cycle of birth and death begins."
