msg from Tim Dutta - The Prayer

Christine,

I hope this message finds you in great spirit and courage. Today will be the making of your NEW life, and as we discussed, it will be the first step in a long journey of healing. So today, I congratulate you and the many family and friends who have supported you in getting here.

Everyone at the Matchpia.org team are truly inspired by all you have done to help bring tremendous awareness to this cause (of lack of minority representation in the NMDP Registry). It has been our honor and pleasure in representing you and the efforts of your family to the Senior Management Team and Board Members of the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP).

As with many of the special patients in our campaign with the NMDP, we will pray for you on your new day of Birth, and continue to ask all those we know to do the same.

Christine, we would like to share this song (by Andre Bocelli ), with you, especially today, and let you know we are all so proud of your persistence and strength to LIVE.

With Love,
Tim, Pia and the Matchpia.org Team

"The Prayer"


I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe

La luce che tu hai
I pray we'll find your light
nel cuore restera
and hold it in our hearts.
a ricordarci che
When stars go out each night,
eterna stella sei

The light you have
I pray we'll find your light
will be in the heart
and hold it in our hearts.
to remember us that
When stars go out each night,
you are eternal star
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
quanta fede c'e
when shadows fill our day

How much faith there's
Let this be our prayer
in my prayer
when shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza
un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace, di fraternita

We dream a world without violence
a world of justice and faith.
Everyone gives the hand to his neighbours
Symbol of peace, of fraternity
La forza che ci da
We ask that life be kind
e il desiderio che
and watch us from above
ognuno trovi amor
We hope each soul will find
intorno e dentro se
another soul to love

The force his gives us
We ask that life be kind
is wish that
and watch us from above
everyone finds love
We hope each soul will find
around and inside
another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer, just like every child

Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

E la fede che
hai acceso in noi,
sento che ci salvera

It's the faith
you light in us
I feel it will save us
