El día en que un paño reconoció su valor / The day a cloth recognized its value
Hay seres que se creen feos
y por eso se esconden en huecos,
esto sucedió con un paño viejo,
que se ocultó en un frasco de medicamentos.
Un día salió por el calor,
hasta una caja oscura caminó,
esta tenía un moño de lindo color
y ahí con tranquilidad se ocultó.
There are beings who think they are ugly
and that's why they hide in holes,
this happened with an old cloth,
that was hidden in a medicine bottle.
One day it came out because of the heat,
to a dark box he walked,
it had a pretty colored bow
and there he calmly hid himself.
Tras un momento dejó ver su brazo,
con el que agarró el lazo rosado,
lo tomó y lo llevó a su lado,
para hacer un traje improvisado.
Sale de la oscura caja,
y va al frasco en el que antes estaba,
ahí con elegancia se levanta
y decide que no se esconderá de nada.
After a moment she revealed her arm,
with which she grasped the pink ribbon,
took it and brought it to her side,
to make a makeshift costume.
It comes out of the dark box,
and goes to the jar in which it was before,
there she elegantly stands up
and decides that he will not hide from anything.
Se va a pasear en auto,
ahora sonríe, se siente magno,
aquella cinta de color rosado,
le regresó la seguridad que había extraviado.
Un paño orgulloso de sí mismo,
que se ama infinito,
descubrió que no es feo, sino lindo
y ahora se valora como es debido.
He goes for a drive,
now he smiles, he feels great,
that pink ribbon,
gave him back the confidence he had lost.
A cloth proud of itself,
who loves himself infinitely,
discovered that it is not ugly, but beautiful
and now it values itself as it should.
Amate siempre y reconoce que eres un ser único, valioso y especial, abrazate y jamás permitas que alguien te maltrate, te subestime, te denigre, humille.
Tú vales mucho.
Always love yourself and recognize that you are a unique, valuable and special being, embrace yourself and never allow anyone to mistreat you, underestimate you, denigrate you, humiliate you.
You are worth a lot.

Your story reminds us all of the importance of self-esteem and self-confidence ! It's the same subject of my last article ;-)
