Un Día de Abril

You are for me
good fortune
promise that April
sowed in this place,
and I who am just a place,
I felt you grow
on the shores of my skin
beating with my being.
for you I will be like earth
earth where to be born
what will I not be for you?
life where to live,
softly I feel you coming to me.

you are the good
that will draw me
a day in April
with twenty more years,
years that I will give you
as the sea gives itself
water where to grow
and waves to play with.
for you I will be like earth
earth where to be born
what will I not be for you?
life where to live,
softly I feel you growing
as one feels living
