MOM'S TREASURES
The tired look and gray hair annouces her age
she enlightens that earthy corner, with tenderness and love.
The memories of her old treasures
come back with cry of the children.
With the delicacy of an expert mother
she calms them down and they begin to dream.
still remember how it was her first time
fearful, but eager to have tem with her
protective, delicate, although somewhat clumsy.
No one imagines the way she plays with them,
encouraging them to grow, to run,
to be ferocious brave, to be tender friends.
In this way when they get older, the bark of their jaws
will be the protective sound of the litter
and mon still on that earthy corner
proud and smiling.
