CAMPEON Corre el tiempo, horas cumplidas marcan, que bella vida! Altos y bajos atento le escucho, lecciones dejan. Miro sus ojos, alegria irradian, Tiburón ganó! Por años vivió victoria esperando; paciencia premia. El es sin saber ramillete de triunfos; los frutos hablan. Oro no buscó, la familia su prenda, orgullo siente. Ningún padecer opaca su hazaña, mi gran campeón! Hector Arguinzones, 31 de Enero 2024 Dedicado a...

Trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the...

To my sister … I love you beyond life, beyond words, beyond action. I’m the youngest, you taught me everything I know. How to defend myself, how to keep it cute, you showed me how to be strong.

You stood my me and I stood tall, I had your love I had it all. I'm grateful for each day you gave...
