Humildade (Cora Coralina)

Senhor, fazei com que eu aceite
minha pobreza tal como sempre foi.

Que não sinta o que não tenho.
Não lamente o que podia ter
e se perdeu por caminhos errados
e nunca mais voltou.

Dai, Senhor, que minha humildade
seja como a chuva desejada
caindo mansa,
longa noite escura
numa terra sedenta
e num telhado velho.

Que eu possa agradecer a Vós,
minha cama estreita,
minhas coisinhas pobres,
minha casa de chão,
pedras e tábuas remontadas.

E ter sempre um feixe de lenha
debaixo do meu fogão de taipa,
e acender, eu mesma,
o fogo alegre da minha casa
na manhã de um novo dia que começa.”


Cora Coralina, pseudônimo de Ana Lins dos Guimarães Peixoto Bretas (1889 - 1985) foi uma poeta goiana.
