La Graduacion de Amandita

So here you are,
at the end of this one road.
Another stage awaits
your presence, your breath
your contribution

And you will leave,
of that I'm certain
just like I did
when my life was uncertain

To share you with the world
I know that I must
since you are full of gifts
and a noble heart

But my lovely daughter
it's what life is about
to give in good meassure
thinking not of what we have

There were tears,despair,
foreign lands
It all went into memories
to be retrieved
when you want

I wish you much laughter
not many good byes
I wish you good friends
and true loving lovers
I wish you to love

I wish you the music
the red sunsets you love
My love is forever
your mother, your guide
