Today, march 01 is the birthday of my daughter Karla.  Im a single mother kaya ang father ko ang nagpalaki sa kanya (together with my mom, ofcourse).  3 years ago, my father died right after my daughter’s birthday.  This poem is for you, papa…from me & karla.

A FATHERLESS DAUGHTER

What is life without a father?
It’s a feeling like no other,
For life is incomplete without him
His absence leaves a void within

The man who saw me grow
And comforted me when I was low
Has gone now to another place
And this, I have to face

It’s worse seeing him in my dream
Remembering him, not with a scream
He’s not just distant but out of reach
So that myself, I should teach

After the storm comes the rising sun
Now I realized he’s not really gone
And I have learned to accept
Life must go on to another step

His love for me lingers on
My love for him will go on
I’ll see him no longer
And there will be no surrender

I love you, my dear father
And I wish we could still be together
In my memory, I’ll remember
In my heart, you’ll stay forever.

*my mother died last year, march 16, so ang next na isusulat ko dito ay tungkol naman sa kanya. I MISS YOU BOTH!!!!
