Mother, Worthy

Mother, remembered
On this day especially
But worthy of it
Energy day

Mother, imitator
Of God
Many of her deeds
Marvelous, necessary
And inviable
To the fools
Who didn't even notice
But her sweat
Is not in vain
And her tears
Will not return void

Mother, honored
By the wise
Who know her worth

Mother, intercessor
On her knees for her family
Watchful for her adopted
Without ceasing in her duty

Mother, fearful
Of God
Instructed in His word
Instructor of her children
Foundation of Justice and Peace

Mother, inspired
The one who insists in the deed
Finds the solution
And is the first to say
Yes we can

Mother, called
Chosen
And present
Hand at the ready
Always willing
And always blessed

Mother, worthy
Every day
Of honor and love

Madre Digna

Madre Digna


Madre recordada

en este dia especialmente

pero digna de tal

todos los días


Madre imitadora

de Dios

varias de sus obras

son maravillosas, necesarias

e invisibles

a los fatuos

que ni se dieron cuenta

pero su sudor

no es en vano

y sus lagrimas

no toran atras vacias


Madre honrada

por los sabios

que entienden su valor


Madre intercedora

dando rodilla por su familia

y velando por sus adoptados

sin cesar en su deber


Madre temerosa

de Dios

instruida en Su palabra

instructora de sus hijos

fundacion de justicia y paz


Madre inspirada

la que insiste en la obra

encuentra la solución

y la primera en decir

si se puede


Madre llamada,

escogida,

y presente

con mano a la obra

siempre dispuesta

y siempre bendita


Madre digna

cada dia

de honra y amor

Song Sings On (for Modesto Flores)

My modest friend
Was modest called
And modest seemed
But I've shook his hand
Seen his smile
And heard his fingers fret
With sisters' song
A sweet savoir unto the Lord.

His song plays on
Joining the grandest chorus
In all creation

Transformed
And newly named
My modest friend
Modest... No more
