Niños: pequeños y grandes al mismo tiempo

Mucho se ha escrito sobre los pequeños, la infinidad de sentimientos que despiertan no solo en padres y familiares, sino hasta en personas desconocidas.
Algo ciertamente difícil de definir, o de explicar.
Quizá porque la integridad de los mas chicos, o su gran amor, sean cualidades que tiendan a disminuir con el paso del tiempo.

Mayor entonces el desafío, de hacer este mundo mas habitable para todos.
Como para que grandes y chicos no perdamos esa mirada esperanzada.
Propia de aquellos mas pequeños e inexpertos, pero maestros en sus ganas de amar.

Por eso mismo traemos la voz de la inconfundible y adorable Billie Holiday, en su tema God bless the child, escrito junto a Arthur Herzog, allá por 1939.



Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When you're gone, spending ends
They don't come no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
He just worry 'bout nothin'
Cause he's got his own
