Cuando se mezcla el Inglés con el Español o viceversa, no se si han notado que el Español sale gravemente perjudicado y se oye raro y feo.

Esa es your opinion. I'm Chicano and Proud. I use my culture as I see fit. You may speak or write anyway you desire.
The beauty of being an American is that I can speak and write as I choose. And, since I am Mexican-American I will continue to mix Spanish and English. That just the vida loca.

It means your soul is well connected to the world of the living and the dead. You can reach both worlds within your soul.

It's the first time that I hear a poem in english and which uses mexican words. It sounds amazing, weird but cool by the way.
Congratulations it was great. I know that sometimes is difficult to express happiness about the death, but you could do it!!
Some of mexican people, in towns more than other places, receive education for the death. That is what values in this tradition... it taught you the joy of the death and memories...
Again, awesome work!!

Who wrote this incredibly touching poem,
and who recites it.
Did Olivia Garcia write it,
or only the notes that accompany it to the right.
It brings tears of joy and remembrance to my eyes.
(YouTube contributors, all, please remember
to accredit art where it is due. I'd like to find other poems by this same author but can't without a name. Perhaps this is a well known poem, but unfortunately, not to me and probably to many others. Thank you.)

Hi there!

This is Olivia Garcia. Yes I wrote it. Sorry I don't have other poems posted online. Just an amateur poet.. Mainly a professional journalist but so glad you enjoyed it... I think of my passed loved ones everything I hear it and I am honored that my dear dear amigo Carlos Puma asked me to write this for his slide.

Brava, Olivia! With this poem you should remove "amateur" from your self-description. Keep writing! Carlos Puma's reading of it is sublime as well. Thank you!
