If you Fall you can Get Up!

We left at 3:40 a.m. from

My grandmother’s house.

I gave her a strong hug.

Also my sister.

I was leaving the place I love.

Never to return.

*

On the road to St. Peter

I became excited.

I had never left my country

Guatemala.

*

The journey was long and difficult.

I learned it is true:

!If you fall

You can get up!

I learned:

Confront life like a chicken

or

Confront life like a champion.

You decide.
