There is no such thing as a self-made man. You will reach your goals only with the help of others. -- George Shinn A SPOONFUL OF LOVE by Isaac Saldaña Sitting next to the window You hold me on your knee You beg me with tender words But I still refuse Without losing your patience and With a sweet lie You draw my attention Towards the window I turn my face with innocence and Open my mouth in wonder Expecting to see somebody in the alley Only to find That you have given me something to eat 9911.19 Copyright © 1999 by Isaac Saldaña Spanish version / Versión en Español This poem was published in The San Antonio Poetry Fair's 2000 anthology, Voices Along the River.
