The following poem was submitted by Lucía Marcela Villarreal Villarreal in honor of César Chávez Day 2020...
César Chávez 1993
Cesar,
I hear that soon they lay you down to rest
deep in our home, the Earth.
Your breath, gone.
Your look, tu mirada, gone.
Your smile, la sonrisa que debajo del sol ardiente nos dabas a todos.
GONE.
Your look, smile, breath, Cesar,
all gone.
But no!
I remember and I see.
