Letra de Gratitude
July 13th, 1946Dear General MacArthur With your permission I offer wishes of good health During this heat That burns anythingThe words I slowly put together Do not flow easily, they only fill my heartRecently, fulfilling Your heart's desire You removed the whaling Moratorium Your gesture brings A much needed food To our community And familiesThe words I slowly put together Do not flow easily, they only fill my heartA million year old fossil I send to you This comes from my family And the ancient sea A prehistoric impression Of the modern krill She feeds the noble whale And offers you longevityThe words I slowly put together Do not flow easily, they only fill my heartFinally, please take good care in the heatSincerely yours Shizuka
