Chapter 23: Gracias

Metrical ScribblesWords: 836

How shall I express my gratitude and adoration?

To the people who mattered to me in every way possible.

Shall I pluck a flower and name it as carnation?

Nevertheless, these words are way too chronicle.

This world is full of uncertainties and misfortunes.

However, before I was send forth in the wilderness,

I was well-raised like a tiger from the fortune;

Determine and fierce upon me with tenderness.

All these years of loving,

I shall find a gift to express my gratitude.

All these years of sacrificing and giving,

I shall pluck a star from the night sky with a latitude.

To my mother who gave birth to me,

Shall I turn the water into wine without a word?

To my father who raised me,

I must turn my dreams into reality while praying.

And all these different languages in the world,

Take a moment and hear out my heart saying,

Gracias.
