Seagull Friend
To you who gave me your life, your love, and your space,
to you who carried pain and fatigue in your womb.
To you who fought tooth and nail bravely in your home
and anywhere,
to you fresh rose of April, to you my faithful cherub.
To you I dedicate my verses, my being, my victories
to you my respects lady, lady, lady.
To you my invincible warrior, to you tireless fighter,
to you my constant friend, at all times.
Her name is a common name, like daisies always
my little constant presence in my mind and not to boast so much
that woman I speak of is beautiful my friend, seagull,
her name is... my mother
