Vida is a Regalo and Milagro
An English-Spanish bilingual poem
This vida
We take for granted
Is a regalo
A milagro.
Don’t let it
Go to waste
Do what makes
You feel feliz.
For me, it’s:
Time in the jardín
Digging the tierra.
With my libros
Reading and learning.
Being in naturaleza
Soaking its belleza.
Nurturing my niños
Preparing them for the future.
Dabbling in creativity
To feel unique.
Tell about you
My amigos.
How are you
Making the most
Of this viaje?
Translation:
Life is a Gift and a Miracle
This life we take for granted is a gift, a miracle. Don’t let it go to waste. Do what makes you feel happy.
For me, it’s spending time in the garden, digging in the soil. It’s being with my books, reading, and learning. It’s being in nature, soaking in its beauty. It’s nurturing my children, preparing them for the future. It’s dabbling in creativity to feel unique.
Tell me about you, my friends. How are you making the most of this journey?

I like how you emphasize not wasting this precious life. I feel the same about enjoying simple things. Gardening's great, and so is reading. It makes me wonder, though, how do you balance all these things? Do you have a set schedule, or do you just go with the flow depending on your mood? Also, what kind of creativity do you dabble in?
I'm not making much of this journey because I don't even wanna be on this journey, lol. Loved your poem!
