I am looking down, You are looking Up

You are looking up and I am looking down, at you.

One look and I am breathless

I can't but say I love you over and over

Because you are and will be my rock

You fought for me when I could not

You've said the words

When I wasn't old enough

Today I have but one small wish

That you wake up from your dream

And hear me sing:

You've made me who I am

You've cradled me and I thank you

You are and will always remain my lifeline

My equilibrium, my way to know what's right

Boldly and selflessly you have altered my fate

I am here to forever express my gratitude

You are looking up and I am looking down

I'll hold your hand until the ground separates us

And even beyond

Your glowing skin and gentle ways

Cannot escape me

I'll wipe your tears

Don't be afraid

I am here and you can fly,

I am here to set you a flight

Bear no fear my dearest, my queen of hearts

As my heart flutters I caress your forehead

Into what will unfold,

One last time

This morning I heard the birds sing for the first time

This very spring

They welcome you; they open their wings to carry you

Go on in peace, and I shall live to uphold your ways

My light, my prayer, my Abuela.
