I didn’t know that being so bad could lead to feeling so good. Without shoes, without food, without family… but with your love in every hug.
How can they be so bad and yet smile so much?
Lord, what a thing. What a thing to see you in the eyes of that baby who smiled at me while I rocked him
How envious I am. Of his smile. Of the strength with which those children hug.
How, receiving so little affection, do they convey so much love? Why do you love them so much?
I see you in each one of them. And next to them my misery.
I don’t know how, being able to receive you every day, I don’t do it, how I don’t greet the people in my class, when they said hello to everyone who passed by, looking at them with affection. But, what’s wrong with me?
I am in love with their gratitude
With the love of the girl who sang to you with such strength that it stirred the heart of each one of us. How good it is to be without luxuries and pretenses, with people who truly value what they have, and the first is You, how they adore you singing Lord, as their most precious treasure, that’s how I want to do it.
And even though their life is so miserable they expect nothing in return. And I, if something bad happens to me, blame you…
And now that I am here
I don’t know what’s wrong with me
I don’t need to go out partying every day, nor always be away from home
And you are the only thing that truly satisfies, with you I have no emptiness to fill, in fact, the only thing I want is to make you known, so that all my friends can smile on a Sunday studying, so they know what it is to enjoy with their family, to have fun without anyone seeing you. To know how to enjoy life, to know how to live in you
Lord, thank you for the piece of heaven you have let me see
Happiness with hunger
The desire of the people to be with you
Thank you for that love that hides in the songs of hakuna that make us want to be the best version of ourselves
Thank you for those tears on Good Friday that announced a change in my life, a change with you
Thank you for the people of hakuna whom I looked at and saw you, thank you for their enviable smile that makes us believe it is possible, that calls us to desire you more
And above all
Thank you for giving me the moment when I realized that your gaze was searching for me
