My little dog
Is stronger than the night
Or day
My little dog can make sounds & jump
My little dog is full of life
More vibrant than a river
When I raise my voice
My dog listens
My little dog wags it’s tail like a hummingbird
And advises me of everything that happens
My dog is like my child
A best friend
Always happy to see me
An admirer of all people and a product of how it’s raised
What a precious gift from the creator
You are as humanitarian
As the sun
– Renoly Santiago
Mi perrito es mas fuerte que la noche
O el dia
Mi perrito puede hacer sonidos
Y brincar
Mi perrito
Es lleno de vida
Es mas vibrante que el rio
Y cuando grito
Me hace caso
Mi perrito menea su colita como un colibri
Y me avisa de todo lo que pasa
Mi perrito es como un hijo
Un mejor amigo
Siempre tan contento de ver me
Admirador de toda la gente y producto de como se cria
Que regalo precioso de el creador
Eres un gran humanitario
Como el mismo sol
I lost ma phone
I lost ma keys
And ma debit card too
See I wasn’t meant to be
Carrying all these things on me
I was born to be free
I’m too wild and creative
Too appreciative
Of the present
To have to constantly monitor ma phone
Gotta make ma next appointment
Jumpin out the cab, jumpin out the train, elevator
Thinkin’ ‘Did I leave ma phone?’
Phone
You better learn to follow me
-Renoly Santiago
Make your life count
Climb the mount
Stare life in the eye
Give what you want
A chance
Pursue your dreams
Integrate care for others
Let your goal be
To touch and inspire
Make your life count
As time continues to surmount
Through the wall of rock, ice, darkness, burning fire and rain
Soar in the clouds towards the sun
Unlock the spark inside
What do you love?
Create, follow your call
If you fall, we are all just tiny grains of dust in the universe
This is for you to savour most
Don’t be afraid to give it
To touch other’s spirit
Every beautiful gesture
Is a flower of power
A kiss
To life
That defines our present
A torch
To light the way
Make your life count in the simplest way…
Through love
– Renoly Santiago
Life is fleeting
Can you hear my heart beating?
At the thought of goodbye
Every moment is but a grain of sand
As it passes through the hour glass
Have I said I love you?
Will you remember the gesture
Let it echo through time?
Cause life is fleeting
Can you feel my heartbeat?
As time fleets
Can you taste?
Taste my food
Taste the words that come from my mouth?
How there’s the sound
Where did it go?
A piece of me let go
Life is fleeting
But nothing is lost
Every gesture is a drop
That echoes through eternity
Life is moving and growing
Every second going
Just be sure to taste
To avoid decisions of regret
But if you’re here this very second
There is a chance to live and breathe
Throughout the fantastic ride
Because
Life is fleeting
-Renoly Santiago
January you are my start, my hope and reminder of my dreams, cold and new
February, the berry of the heart, thoughts of love and where it is in my life
March, my birth, spring and the realization of new beginnings
April showers to wash away doubts, pay debts and receive
May, there be light, springing flowers blooming
June fun arrives with light and things develop
July the year is in the heat, right at the center of it all
August is hot, doing and completing things plus more to come
September is another start, time to elevate, another change is here
October the year is breathing leaves turn color lots has happened,
excitement and mystery is in the air
November we remember and give thanks for the year
December is the crisp time of seeing and giving warmth, the birth,
music plays all over the world
And then we go again
-Renoly Santiago
