Father’s Day

My dear father-figure,

You mean everything to me.

You took up a role that was not yours?

For you are and have been.

Oh, dear fatherly, heavenly, love.

I was fallen,

you picked me up.

I was angry and vulnerable,

You consoled me.

You are by my side at this moment,

Even though many don’t believe.

Papi!

Papito!?

I once screamed.

Moments of confusion and doubt,

Yet, you were there all the time.
