La Vida... my favourite Spanish poem


La vida es una oportunidad, aprovéchala.
La vida es belleza, admírala.
La vida es beatitud, saboréala.
La vida es un sueño, hazlo realidad.

La vida es un reto, afróntalo.
La vida es un deber, cúmplelo.
La vida es un juego, juégalo.
La vida es preciosa, cuídala.

La vida es riqueza, consérvala.
La vida es amor, gózala.
La vida es un misterio, desvélalo.
La vida es promesa, cúmplela.

La vida es tristeza, supérala.
La vida es un himno, cántalo.
La vida es un combate, acéptalo.
La vida es una tragedia, domínala.
La vida es una aventura, disfrútala.
La vida es felicidad, merécela.

La vida es la vida, defiéndela.


-Madre Teresa de Calcuta.
