bearfoot. that's how I roll.
(must-eat in my small town)
From the freshly made orange juice in the break of dawn.
I am from the biggest tree in the world
and red roses on Valentine's Day.
I am from horseback riding in the midst of twilight
And jumping in the pool when everyone’s asleep.
I am from the road between Bogotá and Villavicencio,
From ayude a bajar el mercado
and no pelee con su hermana.
I am from the suitcase full of Christmas gifts
And Avianca tickets to only one destiny.
From los 40 Principales, la Mega, and a Kia Sportage.
I am from hammocks and a good book on a Sunday afternoon.
From Dad’s deep talks and guiding words.
I am from Jesus and my caring angel, my grandpa.
From Mom’s strength and unfailing faith.
From my Dad’s Sunday morning breakfast.
I am from the day after a good parrando llanero
(the best parties I've ever been to)
When everything is quiet because everyone’s asleep.
I am from bonfires and horror stories underneath the warm
branches of my tree.
From the most beautiful sunsets in the world,
To the endless starred skies
And the best memories in the most remote place on earth
To the endless starred skies
And the best memories in the most remote place on earth
I am from digital picture frames
Telling our lives, 3 seconds
at a time.
I am from pictures where there's too many people
and someone usually gets cut off.
I am from tight hugs and longing eyes
I am from crying when I say good-bye
And promising my return
Because I can never wait
For the time when I'll be back
To where
I belong.
I love to dance with my horse!!!! don't deny it... you loved it!
