Madre, Las Flores de Mayo...
ya han bordado los caminos,
y el sol parece en el cielo,
un caracol amarillo.
En el paisaje, la aurora
abre su rubio abanico.
Madre, Madre, hoy es un
dia para estar contigo!
Que ternura tiene el alba!
Que temblor tienen los nidos!
Hoy todo me sabe a infancia,
bajo el ala de tu abrigo!
Cuanto te he echado de menos,
en este dia tan florido!
No te acuerdas Madre, cuando
yo iba a pescar en el rio?
Hoy me llegan tus recuerdos,
como perfumes antiguos,
y mi pensamiento vuela
los pomos de tu carino.
Por el aire, una paloma
te lleva un mensaje mio:
un album de mushos besos
y un abrazo de tu hijo (a).
Madre, las flores de Mayo
ya han bordado los caminos,
y el sol parece en el cielo,
un caracol amarillo.
--Joaquin Lopez Lopez
---Poeta Puertorriqueno.
Mami, yo se que Dios te tiene
en sus brazos. Se tambien
que has de estar trabajando
fuerte... Descansa,
A Dios no le molestaria.
Feliz Dia de Las Madres!
My daughter was born on my
mother's birthday, what a gift!

*The Ladies Gallery: A Memoir of Family Secrets (Previously Published as "A Message from God in the Atomic Age: A Memoir)
Vilar breaks open the vault on her family secrets in this touching, yet painful memoir. Vilar speaks candidly of the mental illness that seemed to run rampant in her family. Her mothers suicide and her own attempt at suicide are spoken of in such a clear manner as to be chilling to the reader. Irene Vilar, 1969
*Cuando Yo Era Puertorriquena (When I was Puerto Rican)
Santiago writes a vivid autobiography of her youth in Puerto Rico. She speaks of her mother in a way that makes the reader feel the confusion she sometimes felt in trying to understand her. She tells the reader what it meant to her to be a Puerto Rican. Santiago manages to bring to the forefront the culture of the Puerto Rican people.
Esmeralda Santiago, 1998
*Casi Una Mujer (Almost A Woman)
Santiago continues her autobiography in this moving, sometimes frustrating (for her) account of her coming of age. The battle between her mother and herself, and the cultural belief system she was raised in. She expresses with a refreshing frankness how it felt to be a Puerto Rican suddenly taken from the familiar Isla (Island) of her youth to the strange city of New York.
