As children…
Cuando eramos ninos…
You taught us how to walk
Nos esenastes a caminar
You taught us how to count to ten
Nos ensenastes a contar hasta diez
You taught us how to tie our shoes and how to read
Nos ensenastes como amarrar nuestros zapatos y a leer
You taught us how how mend a button and how to bake
Nos ensenastes a coser un botoncito y a horniar
You taught us how to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’
Nos ensenastes a dicer ‘por favor’ y ‘gracias’
You taught us how to share and say ‘I love you’
Nos ensenastes a compartir y a decir te quiero
And even though a long time has passed, you are still teaching us..
Y aunque el tiempo ha pasado aun nos ensenas
To walk the correct path when we don’t know which way to go
A caminar el camino correcto cuando no sabemos a donde ir
To count to ten when we need patience
A contar hasta diez cuando necesitamos paciencia
To tie our shoe laces when we need courage
A amarrarnos los zapatos cuando nececitamos corage
To read when we can’t see the obvious
A leer cuando no vemos la respuesta
To mend a broken heart
A coser un corazon quebrado
To bake when we need comfort food
A horniar cuando necesitamos dar de comer al alma
You still remind us to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’
aun nos recuerdas como decir por favor y gracias
But most of all, you continue to teach us how to love by loving us with all that you are.
Pero mas que nada nos continuas ensenandonos como amar
Happy Mother’s Day Mami. We love you.
Feliz Dia de las Madres Mami. Te queremos mucho.
I wrote this poem for my mom and today I share it with you to wish you a wonderful Mother’s Day.
much love and warm hugs,
Lucy
have a beautiful, lovely and full of love Mum’s Day!!!!
Lots of hugs, sweetie!
Beautiful!! Have a great Mother’s Day too!
Lucy!!! What a wonderful, beautiful tribute to your Mom! I am sure she is so proud of the daughter she has raised. God bless you and I hope you have a WONDERFUL Mother’s Day. We are meeting my 2 daughters and 4 grandkids about an hour South of us in Kohler, WI (yep-the place that makes toilets!;) Only we are going to the restuarant instead of the bathroom! It should be fun day and I am hoping it is nice enough to walk around the shops at Kohler after brunch. Imagine keeping SweetCheeks in check in a store that sells $500. vases…that ought to be interesting! I am going to look for the “if you break it – you buy it” signs before entering any store! Love to you – xxoo Diana (ps…make your hubby do the dishes AND make the bed-tell him your Nana said so!)
that is so beautiful, lucy. i cried! 🙂 in a good way!
