![]() I come on my knees, dear Lady Mother of the Americas Mother of God asking that you would shower us all with the roses of your love and bring us back to your arms we have wandered far from you my Lady we have gone far from you, thinking that we could go on without you but finding that without your light to guide us on our way that the way only became dark and lonely and that, on our own, we could not find for we could not see so, we called to you again Divine Mother and you came to us just as you came to Juan Diego on that first day and you told us not to fear, for you were our Mother, our care and our comfort, and that we would want for nothing that through your light and your power, the serpent would be crushed, the darkness would end, and we would be saved and so Blessed Virgin Our Lady of Guadalupe you who are a reflection of us we come to you again dear Lady Mother most Holy you who offers us roses as a sign of your love for us in all times and in all climes we come to you again on bended knee in all voices and in all languages knowing that you will hear and that you will answer and that we will know your blessing ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vengo en mis rodillas, señora querida Madre de Américas Madre del dios que pregunta que usted nos regaría todos con las rosas de su amante y nos traería de nuevo a sus brazos hemos errado lejos de usted mi señora que hemos ido lejos de usted, pensando que podríamos continuar sin usted pero encontrando eso sin su luz para dirigirnos en nuestra manera que la manera llegó a ser solamente oscura y solo y que, en nuestros los propios, no podríamos encontrar para nosotros no podría ver Así pues, llamamos a usted otra vez a madre divina y usted vino a nosotros apenas mientras que usted vino a Juan Diego en ese primer día y usted nos dijo no temer, porque usted era nuestra madre, nuestro cuidado y nuestra comodidad, y eso que desearíamos para nada que con su luz y su potencia, la serpiente sería machacada, la oscuridad terminaría, y nos salvarían y tan bendecir Virgen nuestro señora Guadalupe usted quien ser uno reflexión nosotros nosotros venir usted otra vez querido señora Madre más santo usted quien ofrecer nosotros rosa como uno muestra su amar para nosotros en todo tiempo y en todo climes nosotros venir usted otra vez en doblar rodilla en todo voz y en todo lenguaje saber que usted oír y que usted contestar y que nosotros saber su bendición ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 10-22-2001).] |

NOTE: Our Lady of Guadalupe, although technically not a Goddess, is indeed worshipped and prayed to by millions of Latin people all over the world. She is the Patron Saint of the Americas, and is regarded as an aspect of Mary for the New Millennium. She holds all the aspects of the Goddess: love, compassion, and unity for all. She is known by many names, and her story is well known by those same millions of Latin people all over the world. She is the one that we turn to, she is our strength, our guide, our intercessor. Loved and adored by all. For more about her, please go here: Our Lady of Guadalupe and here: A Guide for the New Millennium ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 10-22-2001).] |

My goodness Sven ... this is remarkable! You truly capture the many qualities of her, and in such a wonderfully prayerful and respectful tone. Though I cannot speak the other language, the mere addition of the translation itself is amazing. Well done! ![]() Best wishes, /Kit |

Sven, Esto es tan poético, y así que tocó con mucha emoción y corazón magnífico, la manera que usted escribe éstos, son la inspiración... ![]() a little rusty on the spanish, so I hope it reads correctly....be well... ![]() Lauren I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.

My friends. . . thank you so much for your wonderful and kind words. . . Our Lady has always been a part of my life from when I was a young boy. . . I remember my Mother and my Grandmother telling me the story of how Juan Diego first met and spoke with her. . . and she used him to speak her message to those that would listen. . . she speaks, even now, to a world that desparately needs her. . . Thank you all again. . . you are what makes this place worthwhile, and I'm honored to count you all as my friends. . . peace. . . ![]() ------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person.

Sven, my daughter is studying Spanish and World Cultures this year (9th grade). Since she is homeschooled, we often find interesting things for her to research on the net. I'll be printing this one, for her to study and add to her knowledge base. Thanks, big hugs, and it is a great poem. |

Excellent work here, Sven. I enjoyed this one much. It is a testament to the faith you have been taught throughout the years. I would have replied in Spanish, but you know this would have been much shorter! ![]() All writing comes |
