THE LETTER

THE LETTER

If I am writing you this letter,

It is because I am feeling lonely tonight

And while looking through the window,

I dream and dream and dream of you.

If I am writing you this letter,

It is because I listen to a song

Which keeps on playing in infinity

With a melody that you like very much

If I am writing you this letter,

It is because my heart is filled with love

In order to tell you that with all my soul,

I loved you, I love you and I will love you forever...

Letter from an old father to his son

Letter from an old father to his son

If one day you see me old, if I mess up when I eat and I do not manage to get dressed, be comprehensive; remember the time I spent to teach you.


If when I speak with you I always repeat the same things, do not interrupt me, listen to me, when you were a kid I had to tell you the same story every night before you go asleep.When I do not want to wash myself does not make me ashamed, remember when I had to run after you by inventing excuses for you to go to the bathroom.

When you see my ignorance for the new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with an ironic smile, I had so much patience to teach you the alphabet.

When at times I can not remember or I lose the track of the conversation, give me the time that is necessary to recover my memory and if I do not get it, do not get upset, the most important thing is not what I say, but the need to be with you and to have you here to listen to me.When my tired legs can no longer keep up the pace of your steps, do not consider myself a drag, come to me and offer me the strength of your arms as I did when you made your first steps. When I say that I would like to be dead, do not get mad, one day you will understand what prompts me to say it. Please understand that at my age, one does not live but survives.One day you will find that despite my mistakes I have always wanted the best for you, I tried to prepare you the way.

Give me a bit of your time, give me a bit of your patience, give me a shoulder to lay my head in the same way as I have done for you.


Help me to move forward, help me end my days with love and understanding, in return I would have only my smile and the immense love that I always had for you. I love you my son.

YOU FLY AND GO AWAY...

Today you come from another part of the globe
and you take up simply your place again;
as the wave shakes your blond tresses,
they dance cheerfully against the wind.
 

First you swear to me that you are faithful,
that today you love me more than ever,
and that our adventure will last forever.
Then you will slowly advance towards me
and here we go again just as before!

First the anxiety and then anguish
within me compete every day;
soon the habit takes his place
until the minute of your return.

But then you fly and go away
without a speech or a word for me,
leaving on my lips a taste of fever and joy.
 

And then you go away without any regret
and during your last round, you disappear,
leaving to me the mirage of your image
on the pillow.
