Lizzie has been posting poems all month, I didn't want April to end without posting a poem too. I chose my mother's favorite poet, Becquer. He was a romantic poet, and my mother knew almost all of his poems by heart. And so did I. I forgot a lot of them, but as I was searching online for his rhymes, they came back to me. I can still hear my mother reciting this short rhyme, one of her favorites:
Rima XXIII
Por una mirada, un mundo.
Por una sonrisa, un cielo.
Por un beso... Yo no se
que te diera por un beso.
Translation: For a look from you, I'd give you the world. For a smile from you, I'd give you the heavens. For a kiss...I don't know what I could give for a kiss.
