I dare to write this new version of my old text,

renewing the promise that the pure passions

that ignited me along the journey I traveled, 

have not be forgotten.

Paths that witnessed a troubled life, some joys

and good vibes, but many suffering days,

that often made me fearful, never stagnant,

never discouraged.

Life that the Creator breathed into me, through

the breaths of two souls who met and became one,

giving birth to that love that shines and surpasses,

reaching close to the sacred and the sacrosanct.

Life that I labored hard and harsh, not letting

the sacred flame granted to me be extinguished,

which I pass on, justifying and warming

the generations to come.

It is my will and desire we will forever sanctifying

that breath of life granted to us in that divine week

of creation, that holy sixth day of the human birth,

also sanctify that seventh day of the Sabbath.
