Gloria Fuertes, TODO ESPERA QUE TE ESPERA
Todo espera que te espera,
a la ola,
la playa con su arena.
Espera ser flauta el pito,
la flor espera ser pera.
El gusano de seda espera ser capullo,
el capullo espera ser mariposa,
la mariposa espera ser otra cosa,
la otra cosa espera ser otoño,
el otoño espera ser invierno,
el invierno espera ser cuaderno,
el cuaderno espera ser libro,
el libro espera ser leído.
Todo espera que te espera:
a la ola,
la playa con su arena.
El relámpago espera ser trueno,
el trueno espera ser rayo,
el rayo espera ser lluvia,
la lluvia espera ser mayo,
mayo espera ser flores.
Todo espera que te espera

Dr. Seuss, THE WAITING PLACE
Waiting for a train to go or a bus to come,
or a plane to go or the mail to come,
or the rain to go or the phone to ring,
or the snow to snow or waiting around for a Yes or No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.
Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.
Everyone is just waiting.
Somehow you'll escape
all that waiting and staying.
You'll find the bright places
where Boom Bands are playing.
