My dad

Lorenzo Giordano Durán 1988 (San José)



Rises before dawn to prepare the world ahead. 
Constant meditative state.
Just what he needs to take.
To take and give light to whom light will not shine. 
Tireless worker, mindful of ways. 
To not stop and never give up. 
That´s my dad.
Heartful of love, building ways for us all. 
That´s my dad.
I always thank you for that.
