My Grandfather
lived on a dream
Through that dream,
he lived for ages.
My Grandfather died,
while waiting and waiting!
For that day,
which achieving his dream
which he finely will receive
God's rospons.
He died and his dream
of riding the old mule
to pass the deserts
and cross the plains
and plateaus
and trees.
Then have to rest
Under the shades of the trees
And at each river
He drinks water and eats
a dry bread with dates.
My grandfather died, without
having achieved his dream
He left me his dream
of riding the old mule
to pass the deserts
and cross the plains
and plateaus
and trees.
What a legacy!
