Welcome May - Bienvenido Mayo

 Reflections by Maritza Martínez Mejía 

How do I celebrate Mother’s Day?

 b In May, we remember our mothers and appreciate the value of motherhood. It is not necessary to be a mother, but it is important to embrace parenthood with love, responsibility, and respect.  Let's  honor our mothers! Maritza Martínez Mejía

Years had passed,

Without a doubt,

She is always near.

-Mejia, 2008-

REFLEXIONES  LUZDELMES

En el mes de mayo recordamos a las madres y apreciamos el valor de la maternidad. No es necesario ser madre, pero es importante acoger la paternidad con amor, responsabilidad y respeto. ¡Honremos a nuestras madres! 

Dia de la Madre

Pasan los años,

Sin una llamada,

Ni cartas para escribir,

o flores que enviar.

La madre es una,

La mía se ha ido,

Pero en mi corazón,

Siempre presente.

¡Tengan un Feliz Mayo! 

 Thank you for your support!🌷 Gracias #LuzDelMes 🌠
