Creo En Ti Amigo
by Gabriela Mistral

Creo en ti amigo:
Si tu sonrisa es como un rayo de luz
que alegra mi existencia.

Creo en ti amigo:
Si tus ojos brillan de alegría al encontrarnos.

Creo en ti amigo:
Si compartes mis lágrimas y
sabes llorar con los que lloran.

Creo en ti amigo:
Si tu mano está abierta para dar y
tu voluntad es generosa para ayudar.

Creo en ti amigo:
Si tus palabras son sinceras y
expresan lo que siente tu corazón.

Creo en ti amigo:
Si sabes comprender
bondadosamente mis debilidades y
me defiendes cuando me calumnian.

Creo en ti amigo:
Si tienes valor para corregirme amablemente.

Creo en ti amigo:
Si sabes orar por mí,
y brindarme buen ejemplo.

Creo en ti amigo:
Si tu amistad me lleva a amar más a Dios
y a tratar mejor a los demás.

Creo en ti amigo:
Si no te avergüenzas de ser mi amigo
en las horas tristes y amargas.

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
