No dudo que le hubiera gustado tener
una linda mama de anuncio comercial;
con marido adorable y ninos felices.
Siempre aparece risuena- y si algun dia llora-
lo hace una vez apagados reflectores y camaras
y con el rostro limpio de maquillaje.

Pero ya que nacieron de mi, debo decirles:
desde que era pequena como ustedes
ansiaba ser yo misma-y para una mujer eso es dificil-
( hasta que mi anglel guardian renuncio a cuidarme cuando lo supo)

No puedo asegurarles que conozco bien el rumbo.
Muchas veces me equivoco,
y mi vida mas bien ha sido como una dolorosa travesia
vadeando escollos, sorteando tempestades.
desoyando fantasmales sirenas que me invitan al pasado,
sin brujula ni bitacora adecuadas
que me indiquen la ruta.

Pero avanzo, avanzo aferrada a la esperanza
de algun puerto lejano
al que ustedes, hijos mios-estoy segura-
arribaran una manana
-despues de consumado
mi naufragio-
