One by One

One by one we come into the world
Little by little its secrets are unfurled

Two by two many go hand in hand
Drawing sweet dreams in the sand

Time together often brings another
Making them mother and father

As the young one opens his eyes
He brings excitement and surprise

We often wonder what life’s about
With a little one there is no doubt

The meaning of life becomes clear
As we beget it, no doubt we are near

What We Have Inside

We cannot give what we do not have
We cannot be what we are not
What we have inside
Will come out
Like it or not

We may act like another
And get away with it for awhile
But what we do speaks so loudly
People will not hear what we say

A glass can only spill its contents
All it has lies within its borders
When we are angered by another
Our contents will become self-evident

We cannot give what we do not have
We cannot have what we do not live
We cannot live what we cannot conceive
We cannot conceive what we do not believe

Believe in yourself / be congruent in thought and action
It’s really much easier than you imagine
Put joy and happiness inside
Hang on and enjoy the ride

LL V 2

Lo Que Tenemos Por Dentro

No podemos dar lo que no tenemos
No podemos ser lo que no somos
Lo que tenemos por dentro
Saldrá por fuera
Eventualmente

Podemos actuar como si fuéramos otro
Y podríamos pasar por él por un rato
Pero lo que hacemos habla tan fuerte
Que no se escucha lo que decimos

Un vaso sólo puede derramar su contenido
Y lo que tiene está por dentro
Al molestarnos por otro
Lo nuestro se muestra

No podemos dar lo que no tenemos
No podemos tener lo que no vivimos
No podemos vivir lo que no concebimos
No podemos concebir lo que no creemos

Cree en ti mismo / sé congruente en pensamiento y acción
Realmente es más fácil de lo que imaginas
Pon alegría y felicidad en tu centro
Agárrate duro y disfruta el camino
