Poemas

LA MAESTRA RURAL La maestra era pura. "Los suaves hortelanos", decía, "de este predio, que es predio de Jesús, han de conservar puros los ojos y las manos, guardar claros sus óleos, para dar clara luz". La maestra era pobre. Su reino no es humano. (Así en el doloroso sembrador de Israel.) Vestía sayas pardas, no enjoyaba su mano ¡y era todo su espíritu un inmenso joyel! La maestra era alegre. ¡Pobre mujer herida! Su sonrisa fue un modo de llorar con bondad. Por sobre la sandalia rota y enrojecida…

May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always understand. May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism. Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even when you feel most alone. May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace. May a kind word, a reassuring touch, a warm smile be yours every day of your…

There are two days in every week about which we should not worry. Two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension. One of these days is yesterday with its mistakes and cares, Its faults and blunders, Its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed. We cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone. The other day we should not worry about is tomorrow. With its possib…

Red Rose Our love is that of a red rose Whose splendor rises as the sun shows its face, Whose petals expand further and richer Whispering secrets of happiness and affection. And even though with the fall of dusk All contentment is swept away, And the rose's petals unite as one Reflecting any light that may endeavor to shine through, The sun will always rise And the rose's petals will eternally broaden Until they fully blossom into a stunning creation. Our love is that of a red rose Possessing a few imper…

Your friendship means the world to me It fills my life with grace When I am down you lift me up And put a smile back on my face I'm glad I have a friend like you To help me when I'm troubled I'm sure when this life is over with Your kindness will be doubled I know God's watching up above He know's your heart is kind He'll make a place for you up there When you leave this world behind Submitted By: Deborah Lynne

""Recordando Viejos Tiempos"" Te acordas de...aquel tiempo, cuando las decisiones importantes se tomaban mediante un práctico... 'Tin Marin de Dos Pingüe... Cucara macara, titere fue... Se podí­an detener las cosas cuando se complicaban con un simple...'No se vale' 'Los errores se arreglaban diciendo simplemente...'Mejor Empecemos otra vez' El peor castigo y condena era que te hicieran escribir 100 veces... 'No debo..' Para salvar a todos los amigos... bastaba con un grito de...chimiricuarta 'Para mi!…

Beginning today I will no longer worry about yesterday. It is in the past and the past will never change. Only I can change by choosing to do so. Beginning today I will no longer worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will always be there, waiting for me to make the most of it. But I cannot make the most of tomorrow without first making the most of today. Beginning today I will look in the mirror and I will see a person worthy of my respect and admiration. This capable person looking back at me is someone I en…

A PRAYER FOR YOU This morning when I wakened And saw the sun above, I softly said, “Good morning, Lord, Bless everyone I love.” Right away I thought of you And said a loving prayer, That He would bless you specially, And keep you free from care. I thought of all the happiness A day could hold in store, I wished it all for you because No one deserves it more. © Yolanda Cohen
