01 My Gratitude 02 Dancing Queen
******************************************************************************************
I woke up counting the many blessings
I have so received, with grateful feelings
This much felt so right upon my birthday
That with thanks I bowed to silently pray
My life has been good and truly pleasant
Endowed with kindness in all its moments
In my chosen path, sustained lovingly
In all previous years, guided faithfully

At the night café in my neighborhood
The sound of the band blaring through the air
Awaking my soul and changing my mood
As I looked humbly as if in prayer
I praised the dancers for their great salsa
With its Cuban and sensual rhythm
I hailed when they moved doing the cha cha
With music that played a Latin anthem
But when I saw you taking the dance floor
Like its rightful queen, pleasing to the eyes
I felt enraptured, perhaps even more
So captivated by your happy smiles!
