Sin Descanso


In the twilight of life, as years gracefully dance, 

En la penumbra de la vida, con gracia que avanza, 

The heart of Hispanic heritage, we honor and enhance. 

El corazón de herencia hispana, honramos sin mudanza.

With hands that have toiled, como manos de guerrero,

Through decades of labor, sin descanso sincero, 

They carry the stories, of sweat 

Llevan historias, de sudor y verdadero dinero.

Envejecen con gracia, aunque el cuerpo se quiebre, 

Age gracefully they do, until their body breaks, 

For resilience runs deep, is a gift I celebrate, 

La resistencia profunda, un regalo que celebro.

In the fields they've labored, bajo el sol ardiente, 

In kitchens, en casas, con amor persistente, 

They've woven a tapestry, of cultures intertwined, 

Han tejido un tapiz, de culturas que se unen.

Aching bones may whisper, susurran en silencio,

 But the spirit ignites, como fuego eterno, 

Their laughter and wisdom, a divine gift, 

Su risa y su sabiduría, un regalo divino.

So let's raise a toast, to our elders so grand, 

Brindemos a los mayores, con amor sin cesar, 

Their strength and their stories, an endless legacy, 

Su fuerza y sus historias, un legado sin fin.

Poetry has been my escape ever since I could remember. Every time I think of what to say or write, my throat has a seal that is broken free from strangulation. Words tend to sporadically slip out of my mouth and I have the pure enjoyment of writing them down.
