Happy Saturday! I’d like to share a beautiful poem by Portuguese-Canadian pioneer Acácio Vieira Janúario. This poem has been extracted from his book of poems, Samouco.

Riviere-du-Loup, Quebec

Esperança

À Michelle

Num momento, chega a vida,

Com sorrisos e promessas,

Como no céu a alvorada!

A luz ténue, num momento

Vence a escuridão, o nada!

Portanto, não te entristeças

Quando chega o sofrimento,

Que ao tempo nada resiste!

Aguarda silente e calma

A mudança do que existe.

Toma a esperança, como alento,

Que não tarda, dentro da alma

A raiar a madrigada.

-A. Vieira Janúario

Rivière-du-Loup, 22-10-1964
