Grateful for mi Familia
Grateful for the lucha, the battle belonging to
the dreamers,
the underdogs,
And those looking for something better.My parents,
One reclaiming his roots
The other for love and a better life for their children.
Not giving up
Welcomed or not,
Established a home
with compassion and love.Grateful for my upbringing,
Raised Catholic but
given the support and freedom to explore.
Because life is but so much more.To discover myself and become
The best person I can be.
One that would make my parents proud
Just as I am of them.For the long-forgotten stories
Rising among the ashes.
My family’s struggles, their roots, their everlasting existence.Humble, loving, and kind,
Stubborn, independent
And one of a kind.
Work ethic reflecting those famous, ringing words
Si se puede,
All is possible.But our first lesson,
The importance of familia,
An unbreakable bond.
Stronger and better together,
My family is what I’m grateful for.Voting is closed
