Gratitude - Björk

With your permission

I offer wishes of good health

During this heat

That burns anything

The words I slowly put together

Do not flow easily, they only fill my heart

Recently, fulfilling

Your heart’s desire

You removed the whaling

Moratorium

Your gesture brings

A much needed food

To our community

And families

The words I slowly put together

Do not flow easily, they only fill my heart

A 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 longevity

The words I slowly put together

Do not flow easily, they only fill my heart

Finally, please take good care in the heat

Sincerely yours

Shizuka
