Acción de Gracias (Thanksgiving)

Acción de Gracias


reconocer lo hermoso 

sin ignorar lo que duele

ver cada uno precioso 

por la verdad que revele


a caminar con conciencia 

de nuestros muertos aquí

siempre sentir su presencia 

saber por eso nací


y sin cesando a dar gracias

ni a cantar las melodías 

mientras las bombas o falacias 

nos llueven todos los días


nos reunimos de nuevo 

en el desamor de esta tierra

y con ustedes me atrevo

vivir donde la vida nos destierra



Thanksgiving 


to recognize all the beauty 

without ignoring the pain

to see each one as precious

for the truth it contains


to always walk with awareness

of those still here who we mourn

to always feel their presence

to know for what we were born


and not to cease from thanksgiving 

or from singing our songs

even when each day keeps raining

on us lies or bombs 


again we gather together

on this heartbroken land

and with you, I still dare

to live where life has us banished
