ERES tú
Eres mi espejo
cuando te miro
cuando hablamos
puedo ver un despejo
en ti veo mi reflejo
Eres un alma
tal como yo
eres quien me calma
puedo irme a donde sea
eres quien me calma
Un baso de agua,
una linda mañana
eres un alma
el unico que me calma
Susurro tú nombre
sueño con tenerte
no se como ni cuando
pero un dia llegaste tú
y saciaste mi hambre.

Good Morning! Today I will share a short poem I wrote for my book, Salsa! the Taste of Life. I keep saying it will be out soon, and just hang in there with me because I tell you, “birthing” a book IS a process! Happy Wednesday and I hope you like my post for today! Life is too short, smile at a stranger, open the door for someone and call that friend you haven’t heard from in a while. Yes, it may be their turn to call you, but so what? Don’t keep score, call them anyway and make their day! 🙂
Words Are Swords
Words are swords
Some are sharp
And some are shrill—
As the sound of a drill.
It takes talents and skill,
To say the right words;
To bring life and encourage,
But never to kill.
Words are swords;
Double edged and ready to go.
Use them every day and everywhere.
Pick them as a warrior,
With much thought and care.
Words are swords.
Don’t ever waste them.
Learn how to use them,
To make friends,
To soothe your foes.
