Hay un tiempo para anticipar la llegada de un bebé y soñar lo que ese niño o niña llegará a ser cuando crezcan.
No dejéis pasar este momento porque los hijos no esperan. Hay un tiempo para alimentarlo durante la noche, para calmar sus dolores, para arrancarle una sonrisa, para contemplarlo y maravillarse con lo que en realidad es una persona diferente, que no nos pertenece, pero que os ha sido prestada para educarla, para amarla y para disfrutar de ella al máximo.
Hacedlo lo mejor que podáis durante este tiempo, los hijos no esperan.
Hay un tiempo para contarle las historias más hermosas o inventar relatos absurdos, para dejar de lado los platos sucios o apagar el televisor y llevarlo al parque a correr. Para mirar la luna y jugar juntos, para hacer un dibujo, para buscar un nido entre los árboles o para juntar piedrecitas.
Este tiempo es corto y, si os descuidáis, se esfuma, porque los hijos no esperan.
Hay un tiempo para cantar en vez de razonar, para sonreír en vez de fruncir el ceño, para compartir secretos, para mirar fotos. Hay un tiempo para contestar a todas las preguntas antes de que llegue el tiempo en que no quiera escuchar más respuestas, para enseñarle firmemente a obedecer y pacientemente a disponer de un lugar para cada cosa.
Este tiempo pasa rápido, aprovechad cada instante, porque los hijos no esperan.
Hay un tiempo para escuchar atentamente largas descripciones de lo que sucede cada día, para enseñarle a ser independiente, responsable y afable, para guiarlo y también para dejarlo partir.
La casa puede esperar, el trabajo puede esperar, pero los hijos no pueden esperar. La dedicación de hoy evitará el dolor de mañana.
Llegará el tiempo en que las puertas ya no se cerrarán de golpe, ni habrá juguetes tirados por el suelo, ni marcas en las paredes, ni dibujos en el frigorífico. Entonces, será tiempo de mirar hacia atrás y ver que no desperdiciamos ni un segundo, que nuestro hijo o hija se ha transformado en una mujer íntegra y en un hombre de bien.
No hay carrera mejor ni tarea más urgente que aceptar, con alegría el don de ser PADRES.
Porque los hijos no esperan, pero los padres tampoco.
No hay que desperdiciar ningún momento ni con los padres ni con los hijos, porque quizás mañana pueda ser tarde.

There is a time to anticipate the arrival of a baby and dream what that child will become when they grow up.
Do not let this moment pass because children do not wait. There is a time to feed him during the night, to soothe their pains for him smile, to contemplate and marvel at what really is a different person, which is not ours, but who has been given to educate, to love and to enjoy it to the fullest. Do it the best you can during this time, children do not wait .
There is a time to tell the most beautiful stories or invent absurd stories, to set aside the dirty dishes off the TV and take him to the park to run. To look at the moon and play together, to make a drawing , to find a nest in the trees or to gather stones.
This time is short and if you neglect them, vanishes, because children do not wait.
There is a time to sing instead of reasoning, to smile instead of frown, to share secrets , to look at photos. There is a time to answer all the questions before the time when you want to listen more answers firmly to teach them to obey and patiently to have a place for everything arrives.
This time passes quickly , take advantage of every moment, because children do not wait.
There is a time to listen carefully lengthy descriptions of what happens every day to teach him to be independent, responsible and friendly , to guide you and also to let him go .
The house can wait , work can wait, but the children can not wait. Dedication prevent pain today morning .
The time will come when the doors are no longer slam shut or be toys lying around , or marks on the walls, no pictures on the fridge. Then it will be time to look back and see that we do not waste a second, that our child has become a woman of integrity and a good man .
There is no better career or more urgent task to accept with joy the gift of being PARENTS .
Because children do not wait, but parents either.
