LOVE Poem: Thank You, by Edgar Galeano

Thank you for being the infinite calm in the storm.
Thank you for being an inexhaustible light in the darkness.
Thank you for being a mother and for the children you have given me.
Thank you for being your life; what my life steers.

Thank you for being stone, iron, steel in the adversity.
Thank you for being water for my never-ending thirst.
Thank you for being on top of all; friend, lover, wife.
Thank you for being sweet medicine for my deranged soul.

Thank you for being the nutrient for my hungry poetry.
Thank you for being in my grove; medlar, papaya, guava, plum.
Thank you for being the nest where my soul may rest.

Thank you for being in my garden; carnation, jasmine, dahlia, passionflower.
Thank you for being your red lips what my love summons.
Thank you for being, on earth, the most amorous woman.
