Who is learning how to tie her shoes,
Scared of the dark and turning upside down.
Lover of jell-o and ice cream,
Lover of mommy and tangled.
Thanks to you every one is entertained,
Thanks to you mommy loves you!
Adriana of the bronze skin and poufy hair!

Mi Amor Por Ti
Por Corina Lozoya
Mi niño te veo crecer, tu dulce mirada me hace feliz
Sabiendo que un día me vas a decir “Mama, te quiero”
Estavas en el hospital por un mes, tradando de sentir a mama
Mi amor por ti, es mas grande que el amor que la tierra le tiene al mar
Mi amor por ti, es mas grande que el amor que yo me tengo
Mi niño, te veo sonreir, tu sonrisa hace al sol salir
Sabia que los años van a pasar y vas hacer un hombre
Todos los días del almanezer te veo ,
No hay un día que no te quiera mas que ayer
Mi niño mi amor por ti es grande.

To You
By Keosomalee Prark
For Adan
Who eats rice and beans and loves playing with other children
Who laughs at his mom chasing him and his step dad making funny faces
Cries, “Mum Mum” *
And meow to the cat
Adan of the banana face and cookie crumbs
Who is learning how to drink out of a cup
Scared of mistakes and leaving his mom
Lover of remote control, mommy’s make up and all his friends in daycare
Lover of milk and attention
Thanks to you for making my life better
Thanks to you for being the best son
Adan of the loving

Citizenship must reflect more humane principles
The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) finds the immigration bill introduced last week a modest start on reform, due to provisions that address family unification and workers’ rights and create a narrow path to citizenship for some immigrants. But much of the bill reproduces many of the ...
Communities of color face higher environmental risks
