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
