IN MY COUNTRY MEXICO

If young couples in my country want to get married, they usually first get the permission of their parents, even though they are really sure of what they want, it is a custom to tell them.

The way this permission is asked is by making a reunion with the girlfriend's and boyfriend's families where they meet each other, then the future lucky one, "the boyfriend" asks permission for getting married to the girlfriend's parents, at the moment his petition is well received, he gives to his girlfriend an engagement ring as a showing of love and compromise.

After that, they have a dinner where the families start to socialize and plan the coming wedding.

Nowadays, it is usual that the bride and groom pay the reception, but then the honeymoon is a wedding gift from the broom or sometimes someone gives it as a present.

Finally, after the couple celebrated the wedding, they have to begin the kind of life style as a married couple, the husband offers to his wife a place to live and build up their marriage with full of hopes.

There was a man

who loved a girl

and he could not see her face to face,

he always got nervous

and you can see what I mean

because he had a fusion of confusion,

the only thing he could

it was seeing her in pictures,

but he could not say

what he felt.

That is why I always think

a poem could be the best to express ourselves,

most of the people do not know well how to write

something special to that significant other,

but it is just letting yourself take the inspiration

from your heart

and I will respond in a beauty way like a poem.

I have found a dream,

but not an ordinary one,

this is just the heaven

I had been looking for it

a long time ago.

Now I see you

like my angel of the dreams,

I have not seen so much beauty

since I saw my eyes' mom.

Today it is a wonderful day

and a marvelous world,

then my heart beats

by the time I hear your steps,

my waiting has finished

and my soul is full of happiness.

I just want to hold you

till the last days of our lives,

I just want to get older next to you

and I do not want to wake up

of this beautiful dream.

I'm sitting on the deck of a boat

gazing around my loneliness,

thoughts of you have come

in the cold breeze of this cloudy afternoon,

the river is a long way

and I can see the bridge away

which is a beautiful sight of an entrance to heaven,

the constant blowing air is forming small waves

that are hitting softly my place.

An old tree branch is floating near the non-fancy boat

and a black duck is loitering around it,

suddenly the sky is darkening,

it seems like if it is about to turn colder.

What a day, what an afternoon,

without yout it is not the same,

my heart is not beating like yesterday,

you always give me that warm hug that I need,

you my first and last,

you my baby, my reason

and everything,

the waiting is exhausting,

but very worthy,

an unvaluable price

that men crave to have it,

though I am the lucky one.

Written by Jorge Estrada

Silence in the night,

empty in my place,

all I need is far so far from me,

quietly I sob beneath the full moon,

waiting for the encounter,

waiting is exhausting,

but I do not give up until

my soul is rewarded

with my pretty baby.

That day and night,

the think of you

comes up to my mind,

beautiful moments that

are hard to forget,

for you I give all my love

and without you there is no sun,

you are the inspiration for every song.

A daughter asked to her mother "Mother, how will I be when I grow up? will I be pretty? will I be rich? what will I be? what is the future expecting for me?" and her mom replied "It does not matter how pretty you will be or if you will be rich, but what really cares is what you want for your life and make a kind of plan to get your dreams, because being pretty does not long forever and money is not everything, perhaps you can get what you want by this, but you will realize you feel an emptiness that could be fulfilled by other better things than money". Thus, the little girl do not say any word of this to her mother until she got married and thanked her for this advice.

The daughter said after the wedding "Thank you, mother, for the advice you gave me when I was four, it has helped me in some way to feel confident in who I am", the mother did not have any idea of what she was talking about, but then her daughter gave her a hint of this " I recall when I asked you what would I be when I grew up " then the mother put her arms around her daughter crying and saying "Look at you, now you are married, time has passed so fast for me, but I have been having a good time raising you, you have been a good girl who I am very proud of. The only thing I ask you it is that you keep this learning forever and spread it to your kids by showing a good behaving in life"
