1Mother’s Urn

If there is anything sadder than my mothers urn,

I can’t picture it.

To this day, I can’t fathom another loss,

quite like that one.

In fact, no one believes I keep it in my china cabinet

in my living room.

Unlike the cemetery, where no one sees it,

but our Christian God.

La Urna de mi Madre

Si hay algo ms triste que la urna de mi madre,
No puedo imaginarlo.
Hasta este da, no puedo comprender otra pérdida,
Grande como ésta.

De hecho, nadie cree que la guardo en mi armario de vajillas
en mi sala de estar.
A diferencia del cementerio, donde nadie lo ve,
sino nuestro Dios cristiano.

2Grieving a Mother

Something did change, when my mother died,

my emotions were flat, my heart cold, very sad.

She died, she was reborn, but in-between is

where I live, and it still hurts, that she is gone.

3One Mirror

Must we all end up looking in the mirror

thinking of death

as if the end of life here, will be easier in the next.

I figure you can love here as much as you can love there.

You have a place in both worlds

but perhaps, only one mirror.

Un Espejo

Todos debemos terminar mirndonos en el espejo
reflexionando sobre muerte
como si el final de la vida aqu, ser ms fcil en la siguiente.
Me imagino que t puedes amar tanto aqu como puedes amar all.
T tienes un lugar en ambos mundos
pero quizs, slo un espejo.

4Mom’s Boyfriend

Behind a fence was an old apple tree

my mother’s boyfriendErnie’s.

I along with other kids, stood at that fence

year after year; when he wasn’t looking,

jumped over it. A voice from the tree

seemed to call usand we ate those red

and green apples. Then one day he cut

the tree down. I asked why? He said:

“You look at the world from childish

eyes, and I know what’s in them.”

y verdes. Entonces un da él cort
el rbol. Le pregunté por qué? l dijo:

“T miras al mundo con ojos infantiles,
y yo sé que hay en ellos.”

5Brother’s Growing Old

When we were children, my brother and I

kind of walked side by side,

and sometimes got in a fight.

I’m the young one, he’s the older one.

My brother’s blond,

seems never to get mad,

I’m the angry redhead.

It never bothered me to talk,

perhaps I’m still the same.

My brother’s still quiet,

he hasn’t changed. Except

we’ve grown old now,

been through many things;

and he now has feelings.

La Madurez de mi Hermano

Cuando éramos nios, mi hermano y yo
como que caminbamos de espalda a espalda,
y a veces terminbamos peleando
Yo soy el menor, él es el mayor.
El rubio de mi hermano,
nunca pareca ponerse furioso,
yo soy el pelirrojo enfadado.

Nunca me molest hablar de esto,
quizs todava soy el mismo.
Mi hermano todava es apacible,
él no ha cambiado. Excepto
que ahora hemos envejecido,
hemos pasado por muchas cosas;
y él ahora tiene sentimientos.

No one should have to beg or crawl before humanity.
No one should have to scheme to procure philanthropy.

No one should be outcast for simply being different.
No one should be found guilty ere proven he’s not innocent.

No one should be employed based solely on color of skin.
No one in high positions should think themselves sovereign.

No one should be denied the human right to equality.
No one should be the victim of cruel brutality.

No one should have to demean himself just to make a living.
No one should have a heart that is cold and unforgiving.

No one should be subjected to a life of slavery.
No one should have to suffer the effects of bigotry.

No one should abuse another; in word, in strength or deed.
No one should have the less because of other’s greed.

No one should be the target of hate by any race.
No one should have to die ashamed and in disgrace.

No one should feel a thrill from the suffering of others.
No one should think himself to be better than his brothers.

No one should judge another or degrade their fellow man.
No one should plot and scheme to carry out an evil plan.

No one should act in anger or utter wicked hurtful things.
No one should be “no one” for we all are human beings.

To us God gave the gift of love to bestow upon each other.
Let’s preserve and honor the dignity of all our sisters and brothers.
