Folks must be happy in Guatemala

   With tax money frittered by Kamala

      Will she visit the border
 
         To 'stablish peace and order

             Or is she just Joe's otiose* wallah**

(*Serving no useful purpose)
(**A person in charge or employed for a particular purpose)...

from a street
in Cartagena
stepping
suddenly

into a 

restaurant
so Italian
surely i was
in a time warp

for i

i was still
in Colombia but
fooled by the food
so authentico

and even

the wine was 
from Italy so
after paying
my bill

instead

of using
the usual
gracias i just 
had to say

grazie...

Ms BIG THOUGHT
Surely it’s gone past that time
For all to think all is tight
And we no more front slide
Afraid are we then left aside
Greatness cometh not with size
It is all seen by how far the height
So live up that tinning light
Think big and think right
And you will come out big
Garcia’s light break all bright 


Etal Gracias Light...

when i see a mexican dragging a cart full of refuse
I say gracias espera voy regresar con una bolsa con gusto
por usted and if chinese I do not speak mandarin or cantonese
and just a yo will do as I am not choosy to feed your children
a world for us to share babu in a taxi and so hello good by
see you tomorrow in my dreams as they are vivid hubber...

Dios tiene justo Bésame-


Dios tiene justo;
Bésame;
Ha soplado la esencia de Su vida dentro de mí;
Me hizo el amor;
Me sacó de la suciedad, la mugre y la arcilla;
Me ha puesto un poco por encima de los ángeles;
Nacimiento espiritual en mí a su imagen;
Él me hizo
Estoy a solo un respiro de la muerte;
Gracias Jesús
Dios me ha besado

in a café
in a city
of a country
who knows which
one she has picked

never seen
never been
but longing
to belong to what
she already belongs

linguistically
mixed up silly
Spanish
in Sicily
laughing

otra
to altro
but
vino
stays the same

vida
and vita
so close 
for a toast
drink more

so that
cheers
becomes
from salud
to cin cin

drunken
slurs
of
gracias
to grazie...

Great full for you is what it means 
Remember when I first saw you I proved that love at first sight excited 
Another girl soposly “had my heart” 
Correctly you guessed that she was going to hurt me so
I seen that she was not what it thought 
As the days went by you made me yours 
Soon I realized that I loved you 

A single smile conquered me 

Today I thank that god and you that 
In my arms and in my heart I have you...

You were born here,
and so you own it.
You've done so much,
to make it yours.

You've built rocky mountains,
You've dug grand canyons,
forged great lakes from ice,
tamed the savage.

And look at your great lady 
of the harbor...
wow, I see why
you are so proud.

Oh yes, great man; I see
your Godliness now.

So sorry to have bothered you
highness, worm that I am,
so sorry I called,
goodbye and gracias,

Gracias all....

AN ODE TO HER
 Honour whom shall we raise high
With her i always stand and sigh
Your love is what i see at home
To whom shall you be made known?

Cleopatra-can she ever stands your tide?
The mediator o! She stood the time
She is a way easy and safe to Christ grace
And intercessor of the worn out age

She is of heaven alma-mater
Tabernacle of our lord and master
O! Virgin our gracious mother
Full of grace humble and greater


Etal Gracias Light...

As winter creeps upon us
darkness caves in on us easily;
Why in haste like Mary in the gospel?
to break the news about the promise foretold.

A source of joy, a defining experience,
that makes us whole again;
with the Word made flesh
Incarnation, the mystery of God’s love
keeps us focused on
who we are for Christ.
restored and loved 
as eternity gets in to history.

It’s a celebration of faith
replete with hope and gratitude
Oh Lord, our Savior
we thank you, indeed.
gracias de corazon!...

Oda a Nuestra Madre

Madres son la razón
Madres son el amor,
Que guardamos en el corazón.

Madres ignoran los
Malos comportamientos
Y siempre nos indican
Los caminos más abiertos

Te tenemos en lo más
Profundo de nuestro ser
Y gracias te damos
Por enderezar nuestro crecer

Aunque nunca declaramos
Que de ti necesitamos
La amiga que eres siempre
Y en ti la encontramos

Nuestra amistad es una
Que como la rosa abre
Y florece en una
Dichosa Madre.



	Por: Nena Enriquez...
