There are names excluded from the feasts of the earth,
That grow in the shadows and the chill of mystery.
Germaine steps forward, with a gentle, wounded stride,
Beneath the weight of scorn the world has left behind.

She has no palace but the wind and the plain,
No companions but the beasts beneath their woolly veil.
She is the forgotten girl, her body marked by pain,
Who hides beneath her dress an endless well of patience.
Yet within her misery and her bread of sorrow,
Beats a blood of light, a quiet, glowing warmth.

For Germaine is the bud that sprouts beneath the frost,
The one who turns lead into a mantle of heaven.
When her apron is opened in the heart of winter,
No longer are there crumbs, but roses forged of iron.

There are sacred days when we should pause and stay,
To honor love and faithfulness along life's way.
Today belongs to you, and time slows its flight,
To celebrate your journey and the love you've shared so bright.

Ivone, brave woman, queen of honest toil,
You who give your life with a heart that never spoils.
You never counted hours nor the burdens you bore,
Drawing strength from deep within, always giving more.
You give without pretense, you help without a sound,
Like a sturdy tree whose fruits are freely found.

On your birthday, receive our love and affection,
This poem of gratitude, our humble reflection.
May your precious hands rest for a little while,
And savor the joy of this day with a smile.

Let us raise our glasses high to your health, dear Ivone,
To the golden sap of kindness your great heart has shown.
May this new year be gentle, radiant, and true,
A reflection of the generous soul that lives in you.

But the voice of the humble, the guardian of love.
He is a seeker of stars in the heart of the desert,
Restoring a place to all that has been lost.

Yet beneath the brown robe and the cord of linen,
One can feel the rhythm of a sovereign desire.
For Anthony is the spirit that refuses oblivion,
Where flesh and word are finally reconciled.

A living force that kindles joy and light.

One senses a blazing fire that fuels all his power.

Who knows how to heal hearts and drive hatred away.

Offering gentle hope to those burdened by hunger.

He broke the vessels and sold his treasures,
Choosing living souls over glittering pleasures.

Where the needy may rest and the weak may recover.

A shiver of light that escapes all rules.

Leaving behind her a lingering scent of danger.

She has the purity of the moon high in the sky,
A crystal radiance that refuses sweet compromise.
She is the queen of the night, the proud huntress,
Running with wolves and crossing rivers without fear.

Yet beneath the white robe, beneath that sovereign brow,
One can feel the pulse of a hidden desire.
For Diane is one who cannot be tamed,
Preferring the open horizon to captivity.

She is the secret fire hidden beneath cool grace,
The modest arrow that strikes straight to the heart.
Tomorrow, let us raise a cup to this name of horizons,
To the wild beauty that knows no prison.

For all Dianes, the free spirits and the lovers,
May the celebration be vibrant and the night alive with wonder.
