WE HAVE A FATHER
WE HAVE A FATHER
We have a father we call him Papa
Makes us feel special in his own way
He was not an OFW but always
Away from our home and family
As his job requires of him often
Many Times did he had a career change
From Police captain in the intelligence
To Comelec registrar in Pasay and Judge
FEU LLB graduate together with Mama
Was an honor student and Campus leader
He was a writer and a book reader
Wanted to become a priest but it changed
When his beloved mom died unexpectedly
He grieved greatly for that lost in the seminary
Found his new life direction and took up law
Saw love at the first sight of a Capizena
And never let go from that time on forward
I remember my early childhood memories
He often brings me to go carts and bump cars
At Cubao in Araneta and UST playgrounds
In the 70's my mom decided to transfer
In Iloilo to be near her family
Papa stayed in Manila due his work
He would come home 3 to 4 times a year
Have this creative idea of making his bag
His piggy bag which he fills with coins
Most of the time we divide it among us 5
And have a game of lucky 9 till morning
or betting in a game of chess as brothers
He would often bring gifts of toys and shoes
Latest trends of gadgets and dresses
He makes sure everyone has his share
To me he was my friend and father
And to me he poured out his secrets
Not known even to my other brothers
This Fathers Day I thank God for my father
And Hope all of us remember this further
Our Fathers needs our love too let's show we care
