Can I Shower After I Wax?

to thank

was born in a September afternoon in the South
when time is spring, encourages
when the sun rises
tired and lazy, so much nap.
I had peace, I love, I had family,
my mother was brave and good woman,
my father was a good man and brave
both gave me determination and strength.
I was lucky to have brothers and have never missed
fights
we still a body that defends
loyal and supportive, their borders.
I had a childhood like any other,
between fantasy and the unconscious;
remember playing a kid tough
hands of my grandmother.
We, sometimes, wine and meat, sometimes kiss
poverty
time I walked in many years
car and had to go on foot or by bicycle.
I like everyone, I was like no other,
never accompanied me good and I point
by chatty and distracted,
a common complaint of teachers.
I saved the notes, figures, numbers
honoring my notebook, though I
bored me like a mushroom
to "ma-me-mi-mo-mu" and nagging! I grew
far more than they should
and soon began with dieting,
with sweets banned, pasta
"you should not eat, because you raise."
I said "walk" and walking
shared parks, plazas and sidewalks,
first with my father and suddenly
old girls who are absent.
boldly, victories and failures, I

serene through adolescence and I knew that love wears sometimes
of that friend who has nice legs.
I was with friends who
retain the best, without urgency,
went through the same challenges and share
tears and stones. Women met
the time,
a rent, some for sale, and said

lie after lie just for a kiss, what innocence!
We play it all in the game
-that everything is nothing when it starts, "
and started a path
us slowly, without even thinking.
When you're young never gets the time, it does not matter
summer or spring,
is moving forward without turning back the face, no wonder
things that are left.
never knew if I was in love,
if they were illusions or fireflies,
if any of the many dropouts
could be called love, for sure. However
the
nobody wanted as there may never in his love them, others took
caresses,
I stole his faith, simple and first.
One day I wrote a few words
to what was then the most beautiful,
anyone knew it, began to laugh,
and since then say, "is a poet."
studied law for five years,
am bachelor of law-no offense-
decided not to exercise while
knew that justice was for sale.
I became a teacher because the twentieth
poor teacher pay is good,
and saw the light of so many
tied after the ferocity of a folder. They learned
desire, courage,
courage and will, I learned them;
my students give life to my life and joy unexpected
immense.
I have also published some books that few read
patiently
and I discovered that life has
some truth and much of the novel.
I have a woman beside me there
on the waves of any story,
with a simple and generous soul,
with passion, will and intelligence.
I have a country that is not limited to vulgarity
flags
and a city without a heaven to which
strange because she was born, and she expected.
I have family, friends, freedom,
I have three dogs and a library, a beating heart
yet
a dream, an emotion and a poem.
I owe so much to so many who were guides
, arms, sentinels, and I am a bad payer
, I apologize, I was always clumsy
canceling debts.
Life is a beautiful
nonsense and making sense of it rises,
comforts us, gives us
perpetuates and redeems us from our miseries. Just
write
to thank everyone, for your time and patience, because they are complicit
in
miracle of love and love and who love me.
