Your two boys
The little one with the handsome nose
who sings beautifully, purely
The bigger one with round cheeks,
who laughs and the whole world disappears
The little one who marches in the living room
skipping almost soaring, fingers covering ears, smiling
The bigger one who does not say anything
yet says a million things in the way he holds your hand
The bigger one who swings in the hammock
holding his piece of bread, iced water on the floor
The little one who says I love you, words held precious
The bigger one who shows I love you, arms wrapped around you
The little one who is turning into a young man who will still sing
soon he will grow tall, not far away, always close by
The bigger one who will grow bigger, rounder,
in the size of his body, in the size of his heart embracing your own
And you,
You, Mother, Mama, Nanay
you will love them all the days of your life
No other life but this. No greater joy than this.
Your two boys, the little one, the bigger one.
Them, they, you. You.
"Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life. " - Omar Khayyam
