To Mum and Dad,

Over the long meandering path
      Lies a gorge deep with love
Beyond the horizon, mama,
      Glitters your warmth and care.
Dad, I am proud to say that you’ve been my shield,
       Holding me up in all my life that I’ve lived.

There is no limit:
   The birds are far off opening up in their elegance
   The sky dresses in blue
   The trees are high up dancing and singing
               In this great wind of your love
               In this deep ocean of your love.
