Poema a mi padre

Hola! He querido compartir con mis amigos de habla hispana, un poema de mi libro "Contigo Un Momento." Por favor, perdonen la falta de acentos, hasta que siga mejorando la pagina. Un abrazo para todos.

A MI PADRE

Caminando por el parque
me he encontrado a un hombre viejo
que me trajo a la memoria
a mi padre que esta lejos.

Con su caminar pausado
y la mirada en el cielo
no trato de detenerlo
pero lo miro muy quedo

y me acuerdo de mi viejo,
ese, que hoy no esta conmigo,
y a quien yo llevo, muy dentro
aunque partio ya hace tiempo.

Memorias de mi ninez
trae hoy el pensamiento.
Su comprension, su paciencia,
su buen humor y su aliento.
Su gran amor va conmigo
aunque a el, ya no lo tengo.

Algun dia lo vere.
Se que nos encontraremos.
No puede ser que despues
de ese amor tan dulce y tierno,
todo aqui ya se termine
y no vuelva nunca a verlo.

Thinking about Nico tonight

I have fallen in love with his little voice
and that lovely smile
with his tender hugging and the funny dance
and I enjoy the creative names he has given to everyone!

From the "Bipas" and the "Titas" and the "Ayas" and "AMI"
and let's not forget their doggy, which he lovely calls him "E"
Little Nico, is a joy to baby sit, and how much he loves to "read"!

Now I think about the times, when he hugged me tenderly
caressing his little blue blanket, which he soflly calls it "BEE"
and he's in my thoughts tonight , wishing him a good night sleep.
God bless the little grandchild and his lovely family!

An attempt to modern style?

This may not be a poem of perfect measure or exact rhyme
It's just a humble attempt to use free style
and I sit here, but you are not near; That makes me cry
and I put my thoughts together, during this weather

trying to become a blogger.
They say " Don't bother" " Just let it fly"
and I listen to the thunder, and then I wonder, what it'd be like:
to be less afraid of this technology; It's not going to bite!

pretend I'm just, wherever, and very clever, just sit and write!
as if at my desk, paper and pencil, not an imbecile who has to hide.
Where is the poem? I have to ask

I guess it'll come another day, when I'm not hungry
which makes me wonder:
I need a bite!
