Since the moment we are born, everybody know that inside us, we have a sense very special called FEELING. Some develop it, and other, simply ignore it. I had the virtue, since the adolescence,to wrote poems.For my male friends was to waste time in somewhat meaningless.On the contrary, with my female friends the triumph was constant. They were the ones that encouraged me to continue writing, because I expressed that feel inside me, that reflected my passionate instinct. And that time I had a dream: seeing my poems printed in a book Today, after many years, that dream become reality. Every man, according to a latino tradition, should do three things during his life: "planting a tree, to be father and to write a book"(no matter wich one came first). Thanks to that Omnipotent GOD, that illuminates my road, I can say that I have completed with that mandate. You, my friend, has in your hands, the way to think of a man that shares his ideals, his way to see the life, his respect to the spiritual and emotional values. I expect that it enjoyment, and, if in the end, you feel well for wich to read, tell to your relatives and friends, that there is a writer that think in the same way as you do. Beforehand, one thousand thanks by accepting my thoughts. That GOD do you the person more happy of this world. Juan Carlos Riestra
