Who forgot?

God did not, for He still dwells there.

Nor has the wind forgotten,

Nor the rain,

Nor the sun.

Weather-beaten,

with the roof caved in

the walls crumbling

the insides decaying

"Santa Rosa de Lima, patron saint of our town

A place of worship

A place of burial…

We have not forgotten you,

We have only forsaken you.

Don’t give up!

Fight the wind.

Fight the rain and the sun.

Fight for your existence,

for you fight alone,

bravely.
