Helen Rosinha - My Sweet God-Child Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

Innocent, charming, truly loving
from morning to evening,
she is so full of simplicity and wonder;
always so helpful, always so sensible
where would I find a jewel like her?

Many heartaches within her
many tears within her
as she and her sister miss their father,
a father who adored them
and who was so proud of them;
they were so full of innocence then
always asking him for things that were simple
like chocolates and ice creams.

Helen O Helen - Light Of Our Home;
you are so filled with grace
you are so sweet and tolerant
your smile is your victory;
and you are so loving though so sad;
yet your courage, your diplomacy
is higher than Mount Everest.

O Charming little girl, as you grow
you will be the star of kindness
and your charisma will be your blessing;
your simplicity will be your strength
and you will always love us all
as much as your father loved us
as we find the same kind of love
resonating in your heart, amazing us.

Be brave, Helena, be courageous
for the future is not just ‘que sera sera'
but you have to achieve by yourself all those dreams
that your heart asks you to fulfill
and I will always stand by you as long as I live.
