Los 33

Now that the Chilean miners have all been rescued, I just want to share this poem I wrote four days ago which I sent to my friend Gigliola Lubiano of Chile. I join the world in saluting their indomitable spirit and courage.

LOS 33

by V. P. Gendrano

In Camp Hope
your loved ones wait
from darkness
to redemption
where hope and prayers
mingle with tears
in undying faith
to man's humanity
and God's grace

Trapped Chilean Miners

ESPERANZA
(Para los mineros chilenos)

Victor P. Gendrano

she names
her newborn girl
Esperanza
a beacon of hope
for her father
and other trapped miners
no están solos
you are not alone!
the world prays and waits
for your safe return
