FLOWERS FROM THE HEART

=====================================================================

To Jorge.

For his birthday - 6th/05/1957.

What should I say of you, dear grandson?
Except, that you are handsome, strong and talented!
That in the highway of the life you are trekking,
The right course, in that you will be blissful.

 

It is arduous and tough, your mission, well I know!...
But, the courage will not be far from you...
Because, over the crystalline, pure waves,
You will sail happy, without misfortunes...

 

I don't want to see you in battlefields,
Except with the sword defending the Homeland,
But, more beautiful it is that in hard mesh,

Always contained have your sword
And as shield have the flag
Of our loved brazilian Homeland.
