Resistencia
No te rindas,
aunque a veces duela la vida.
Aunque pesen los muros
y el tiempo parezca tu enemigo.
No te rindas,
aunque las lágrimas surquen tu rostro y tu entraña
demasiado a menudo.
Aunque la distancia con los tuyos parezca insalvable.
Aunque el amor sea, hoy, un anhelo difícil, y a menudo te muerdan el miedo, el dolor, la soledad, la tristeza y la memoria.
No te rindas.
Porque sigues siendo capaz
de luchar, de reír, de esperar,
de levantarte las veces que haga falta.
Tus brazos aún han de dar muchos abrazos,
y tus ojos verán paisajes hermosos.
Acaso, cuando te miras al espejo,
no reconoces lo hermoso,
pero Dios sí.
Dios te conoce,
y porque te conoce sigue confiando en ti,
sigue creyendo en ti,
sabe que, como el ave herida,
sanarán tus alas y levantarás el vuelo,
aunque ahora parezca imposible.
No te rindas.
Que hay quien te ama sin condiciones,
y te llama a creerlo.
José Mª Rodríguez Olaizola, sj
Resistance
Don’t give up.
Although life sometimes hurts.
Even if walls weigh in on you
And time seems like you enemy.
Don’t give up,
Although tears
Mark you face and your insides
Too often.
Although the distance from your loved ones
seems impassable.
Althgouth love is, today,
A difficult longing,
And you are often beaten
By fear, by pain, by loneliness,
By sadness and my memory.
Don’t give up,
Because you are still able
To fight, to laugh, to hope
To get up as many times as necessary.
YOur arms still have to give
Lots of hugs, and your eye
Will see incredible landscapes.
Perhaps when you look yourself in the mirror,
You do not recognized beauty in you,
But God does. God knows you,
And because he knows you,
He keeps trusting you
He keeps believing in you
He knows that, like a wounded bird,
Your wings will heal and you will take flight,
Although now it seems impossible.
Don’t give up.
Because there is someone who love you
Unconditionally
And he calls you
To believe in him.
Amen.
Jose Maria Rodriguez Olaizola S. J.
