Tu Puedes

Tu Puedes

My love still burns bright with her light,

though her embers were buried years ago.

Like a single candle still burning in the night.

warm memories of her carry me through.

 

Maybe I can't ride a horse or be a brave knight.

But she sowed good things in my heart from knowing her.

And I honor her by living my life with integrity.

til my chores are done and my day is thru;

and I can rest beside her once again.

 

She said "this you can do." "tu puedes."
