“Let no man in the world have
The gift from god or nature
To see the little girl living
In emotional poverty
Living in fear and insecurity
Living in a sixty-two-year-old woman
I have come to see and know
I love you with all my heart
All that I have seen
All that I knew
All that I have given
All that I love about you
Is given from my soul
To furnish your soul
When the choices come
No material gifts
No emotional gifts
Will match the immortal love I have in me
That Only lives to love you”
Santiago”
