Dyhanara Rios Biography

Friendship is a garden for my friends and I,
And we’ve sworn that the plants would never die.
The laughs we shared as we gave it care
Were as bright and lively as the flowers there.

When I am done with school,
I am turning right back around
...

This is who we are
A Movement, a cause
The People who will
Put your perceptions to pause
...

Sleep soundly, dear
And do not dream
The nightmares I dream
...

Your smile is another sun;
Listen now, it’s just that pretty.
It could power a whole house,
No, it could power a whole city.
