GREAT SOUL IN MY COUNTRY 1 © 2007

Grandiose womb that gave me life,

Turning me into the man I am,

Bed that you always loved,

Grand reason that always accompanied you.

In silence, I rarely acknowledged it,

But here, in mature papyrus,

As your eternal and devoted child, I write what I felt,

In distant struggles, seeking new futures.

So that today and tomorrow,

Pride may be a constant,

A glorious feat,

In the guise of a child.

In the steps I took, your name preserved,

In every choice, your strength present,

And in the journey, despite fate,

I am a reflection of you, eternally.

And now, in the echo of time passing,

I rediscover your embrace,

Seeing in myself your grace,

In the memory that I trace.
