Starfish

My baby, welcome to the world
You brought me joy
And your aunt wishes that God will protect you from what is to come
My baby, four and a half years ago when your older brother was born
I felt the same melancholy feeling then as I do now
 
You are happy and healthy
I reached and held my face
Small and pink
Your appetite as if trying to suck the life from the white breast
Then later, I became sad as I realized
There is no life that doesn't have thorns
 
I was such a joyful girl
The world hadn't yet destroyed me
And how lonely I was
 
We went through difficult times, hard times
From mother to son, and to my other children
The ones I gave birth to, or the ones I didn't
We lived by valuing hope
You can't live without hope
 
My baby, this is it
The life story of the starfish
No matter how many you save, there is a benefit
My baby this is it
Each life you save, they benefit

Beautiful translation! Thank you! :-) The last line could maybe be something like "Each life you save matters!" or "Each life you save matters to them""
