My History says

I hear silence, the more silence I have,

the more I hear.

Then, my soul connects with every sort of souls,

some I am acquainted with, some unknown.

Mainly when I am at my church, no mass or cult being,

angels and saints say they have known me since my early days,

even before I was born, even before I was conceived and

only drawn in the dreams of a young loving couple.

They say they do not forget the joy and hope I caused

and that this is spelled with all the words in my history,

forever and ever.

I believe in their words, are not they angels and saints?

Then, a renewed man goes home.

A defiant and reliant one.
