POEM
NEVER ENOUGH
Arianna:
Sometimes I know the words to say to give thanks for all you've done,
but then they fly up and away as quickly as they come.
Matias Ch: How could I
possibly thank you enough, the one who makes me whole,
the one to whom I owe my life, the forming of my soul?
Martina: The one who
tucked me in at night, the one who stopped my crying,
the one who was the expert at picking up when I was lying.
Matias: The one who saw me off to school and
spent sad days alone,
yet magically produced a smile as soon as I came home.
Emiliano: The one who
makes such sacrifices to always put me first,
who lets me test my broken wings, in spite of how it hurts.
Anthony: Who paints the
world a rainbow when it's filled with broken dreams,
who explains it all so clearly when nothing is what it seems.
Jose: Are there really any words for this? I
find this question tough.
Anything I want to say just doesn't seem enough.
Juan Pablo: What way is
there to thank you for your heart, your sweat, your tears,
for ten thousand things you've done for oh so many years.
Felipe: For changing with me as I changed,
accepting all my mistakes,
not loving because you had to, but loving just because.
Paula: For never giving up on me when your
wits had reached its end,
for always being proud of me, for being my best friend.
Joaquìn: And so I come
to realize, the only way to say,
the only thank you that's enough is clear in just one way.
Santiago: Look at me
before you see what I have become.
Do you see yourself in me, the job that you have done?
Ma. Jose: All your hopes
and all your dreams, the strength that no one sees,
a transfer over many years, your best was to pass me.
Samuel: Thank you for the gifts you give, for
everything you do,
but thank you, Mommy, most of all for making dreams come true.
Sebastiàn:
Mum, thank you for keeping me close to your heart.
Thank you for never allowing me to fall apart.
Martina: Thank you for
holding me up for all these years,
But most of all, thank you for drying my tears.
Danielle: Thank you for
teaching me how to be strong.
Thank you for showing me right from wrong.
Romina: When I fell down and had nowhere to
go,
You held me close to your heart and called it home.
Matìas E: When the whole
world let me down and left me astray,
You told me that tomorrow comes a new day.
Mateo: Thank you for keeping me ashore
through this mystic storm.
Thank you for carrying me until I was born.
Lucy: I never told you how much you mean,
But through these words, hopefully you will see
Martìn: You saved me from the fire and pain.
You walked me through every ounce of rain,
Camila: And I know that I have hurt you more
than enough.
I have let you down and made life rough.
Carlos: Even through this, you remained my
only charm.
You protected me within your arms,
