Breath of Life
Teresa little doll,
Dear girl,
Sweet woman child…
Teresa with a serene face, with her pretty smile,
And with her frizzy hair
Always thrown in the wind.
Teresa always present in the difficult moments,
in the simple moments…
and in the important moments.
Teresa of mature advice, showing bravery, sweetness,
Coming from within with great affection,
And so wisely.
Teresa of deep feelings.
Feelings of love, kindness,
Pure feelings that always hurt from you.
Theresa brave and strong. That gives me the courage I should give you.
That she has the strength I would have to have.
The faith, the belief I wish I had.
Teresa, you were missed so much.
Of the moments that we smiled together, of the moments that we spent together,
Of the moments that we were happy together.
Teresa little doll dear girl,
Sweet woman child…
I love you very much.
