The Association of Alumni of the Jesuit School of “La Merced”, Burgos, Spain recently forwarded this poem Jesús Ángel wrote when he was 13-years-old.
Quiero hacerme pequeño en tus manos,
depositar mi yo,
y dejarme acunar como un chicuelo,
entre arrullos que suenan a renuncia.
Quiero hacerme tan pequeño,
que no encuentre en mi vida otra respuesta
que un sí caliente frente a la obediencia,
y una sonrisa, aunque me cueste amarla.
