Gracias

For the gestures that embrace me
When the world threatens me
For your listening and advice
That brought me from afar

For the laughter and joy
For the healthy company
For your roof that is my sky
Your food, my sustenance

For life and for the sun
For my story and your forgiveness
Because you gave me faith
And today you made me wake up
Because I can hear your voice
Meditating a prayer
For telling me that I can
Because in you I have no fear of my god

For your wise will
The one that sometimes I find hard to embrace
For the time of waiting
Because if I love the sowing
I will be the harvest and the seed
That died and today is a sheaf
For your wounds that are bread
Food of eternity

Thank you, thank you
Give me beloved father
A heart in love
To be aware
Of how much you have given me

Thank you, thank you
Give me my father
A grateful heart
To be happy
For the love I have received

For calling me to the mission
With your letter and your song
For your holy providence
That has covered my shortcomings
Because I know I am cared for
By your angels and messengers
For your hug that is shelter
For your face in my friends

For the hours of yesterday
Every blow that made me grow
For the nest you gave me
Food, teaching, care, and warmth
And because the ground
Taught me through stumbling
That the important thing is not to arrive
But to never, never stop trying

Thank you, thank you

The wind and the mountain
The rain and the chances
The sky and the morning
The valleys, the altars

The immense universe
The art and the cities
The sweetness of a kiss
The culture and my parents

The party and the colors
The sea, the freedom
Science and flavors
Light and friendship

The breeze and your gaze
Your music and your peace
Your voice that sings to me here
With this and much more
Your kindness embraces me
Thank you
