Let me remain a child, through ages and ages,  

wrapped in your eternal warmth.

like the moon glimpsed through tangled branches.  

How can I recite your saga, Mother,

You are the Earth,  

blooming countless lives from your soil,  

Never tired, always whole—  

like the sun, faithful in its daily gift.


What words could ever capture your sacrifice?  

Heaven, they say, begins at your memory.  

Because when God alone could not  

nurture this world,  

He created the haven of a mother's embrace.
