What do you want for your birthday?

(Teo me pregunta y no sé qué decirle...entonces, me puse a pensar)


I want joy that stays with me always,

I want peace, a deep sense of the eternal

I want my heart to be full of love

I want a smile to be on my face more often than a frown

I want all my ruminations about the past to melt away

I want to let go of thoughts that do not serve me

I want to sing every day

I want to know who I am…really

I want to know that everything is perfect,

exactly as it is.

Those are the things I want for my birthday.

May they be so.

Soy Lorena.
