Family Love

I adore my dear mother,

I adore my dear father, too;

No one loves me as much

As they know how to love me.

When I sleep, they keep watch over me;

When I cry they are sad with me;

When I laugh they smile with me;

My laugh is sunshine for them.

They tenderly teach me

To be happy and nice.

My father does his best for me;

My mother prays always for me.

I adore my dear mother,

I adore my dear father, too.

No one loves me as much

As they know how to love me.

-Amado Ruiz de Nervo
