Worth is Not Taught, It is Learned

One thing I learned from when I was raised is to put your kids first: their needs, their birthdays, their Christmas, their tears, their hurt, their struggles, their pain, their disappointment, their successes, their needs, their lives are here because WE brought THEM into this world. When kids are your priority, they learn they are...

Saber, No Saber

Por ser haré Por estar hará Por tener sacrificaré Por llegar irá No se sabe cuando No se sabe donde Pero no saber es saber El ingenuo se pasa por ingenuo Tal vez son así Tal vez porque es su consuelo El alcance de la sabiduría es posible Pero el temor es real Los fallos...

Por Fin, Adiós
