Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Aplausos para MamáƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Un aplauso para cada mujer valiente,
luchadora, para esa mujer de verdad,
de respeto, esperanza,
coraje, de amor, fe y comprensión,
para esa valiente mujer que trabaja,
que lucha cada día de sol a sol por la vida,
por la familia y por un mundo mejor!
Un aplauso para ese valiente y divino ser..
para esa maravillosa mujer que no necesita de un hombre
para salir adelante y hacerse respetar,
a esa guerrera que con dignidad
y la frente en alto lucha contra la injusticia,
contra la violencia que si cae sola se levanta,
a ese ángel que ama y todo perdona,
a ese ser inmensamente sensible
que con lágrimas en los ojos a la vida
y al dolor le sonríe.
A ese ángel que cada nuevo día reza
para que el amor no muera,
a ella que no juzga, no pregunta,
no lastima y ama lo que otros odian,
a esa maravillosa mujer
que ama a su prójimo como a la vida misma!
A esa respetada dama que es feliz siendo mujer!!
felicidades en tu día a vos madre,
que con dignidad sabes ser madre,
mujer, esposa, hija y amiga!
Abrazo de corazón, te amo y moriré amándote,
Dios te bendiga un beso en la frente.
Y aplauso!! Para las valientes madres de este portal
y para las que se fueron,
pero que siempre están
y estarán en mi corazón!

Why Do People Celebrate Cinco De Mayo?
History About The Mexican Holiday
May 5 has arrived, and with it come extravagant Cinco de Mayo
celebrations around the country.
The day is widely recognized as a time to drink margaritas,
eat guacamole and celebrate Mexico's cultural heritage,
many people know relatively little about the true
meaning of the Mexican holiday.
It’s not Mexican Independence Day.
Mexican Independence Day is celebrated September 16.
Cinco de Mayo, on the other hand, honors the Battle of Puebla
that took place May 5, 1862. During the battle, also known as
El Dia de la Batalla de Puebla, a group of only 2,000 Mexicans was outnumbered by 10,000 French troops.
But only 100 Mexican soldiers died, while the French
lost about 500 in the battle.
Cinco de Mayo translates to the Fifth of May.
The holiday is celebrated more in the United States than elsewhere.
Though it’s heralded as a Mexican tradition, the holiday is a far bigger deal in the U.S,
especially in regions with large Mexican-American populations.
In Mexico, the largest celebrations take place in Puebla and Veracruz,
where military re-enactments are held.
One of the most popular dishes eaten in Mexico on Cinco de Mayo is mole poblano,
a thick chocolate sauce served over meats and other items.
Some favorite recipes include chalupas, or fried tortillas,
and chiles en nogada, or peppers stuffed and fried.
The world’s largest Cinco de Mayo celebration takes place in Los Angeles.
Known as the Festival de Fiesta Broadway,
the 2017 event was expected to bring an estimated 300,000 people.
The U.S. drinks an exorbitant amount of tequila to celebrate the holiday.
In 2014, Americans bought 12.3 million cases of tequila for Cinco de Mayo,
twice as much as was consumed in Mexico, according to the Daily Meal.
About 43 percent of all cocktails ordered on the holiday in the U.S. were margaritas.
Americans also eat a ton of avocados on the holiday.
More than 81 million avocados are consumed on Cinco de Mayo,
according to the California Avocado Commission.
Costumed revelers dance through the streets of south Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania during the annual Carnaval de Puebla,
a traditional Mexican carnival celebration that re-enacts
the Battle of Cinco de Mayo,

Where the Sidewalk Ends
There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
