If I am asked to make a wish, I would ask the clouds to welcome you with love in their lap, if I am asked to make a wish, I would ask the stars to illuminate your face marked by the years, but steady, proud to have fulfilled the work of life.
If I am asked to ask for a wish, I would demand the ever implacable time that would not stop the march of your history, which yesterday, today and for all eternity will accompany the humans of the earth, especially the Cubans, as a homeland constitution whose Only referent is love.
If I am asked to ask for a wish, I would claim to know, the wonderful and amazing universe of knowledge would reward me with your wisdom, with that indescribable intelligence, with the capacity you showed not only on the field of battle and ideas, but also on the way of thinking to the point of turning every opinion in books of analysis and consultation.
If I am asked to make a wish, I would complain to your memory not to forget your step, your giant stature, your powerful voice, your imperishable image, how to welcome friends from the island, to stand before bad things, not to fear and never give up.
If I am asked to ask for a wish, many more I would list, among those who are and those who are yet to come, one excels in capital letters: I would propose to the worthy human beings to defend and give continuity to your legacy, simply because for us Fidel and for hundreds, thousands of brothers throughout the world, mentioning your name: Fidel Castro Ruz, represents to seal the everlasting covenant with the Commander, statesman, prophet and friend whose spirit and strength become beautiful symbols of the collective, reciprocal, supportive and eternal.
