I look up
I look at the blue sky
I miss you, I miss you
I hear your voice in me
A year ago
Who departed from this world
My beloved father
A happy and dreamy man
In love with life
Never fear he showed
His brave adventures
Those who met him
Know you didn’t lie
He hunted, he fished
He did it so much better!
His exploits he counted
With such great emotion!
They seemed like fictional stories
But who knows?
You know who that man was!
Dancer at parties
Danced in the living room
He liked to dance a lot
That man!
He liked to sing
Never felt sorrow
By singing a song!
A hardworking man
He never said no
Work gives honor to man
Even if we sweat
Said that man!
Many early mornings he went out
Working tirelessly
He lifted us up!
Until the exit bell
Sounded
The day’s work ended
To the house he returned!
In lunch hours
With your co-workers
Many jokes he made!
A man who loved life
Fighter and dreamer
A character
That man!
He loved to be dressed up
Well dressed, scented
Like a peacock
Cheerful, he always loved his life
Although in his being
Carried things on his back
That as a child he lived
A strong man became
I love the life that touched him
My dad was that man
My dad is and will be the best!
Though mistakes he made
Who I am
To judge him
I do not want to do it
It was my dad for God’s sake!
My dad a man
Who loved life
So in love
Yes sir!
I’m not sorry to say
It was his life
And he lived it as he wanted!
Who I am
To judge him
Yes, as a father he touched me
I loved him, I love him and I will love him
Without condition!
Life takes away innocence
To see how children see
No complication!
I loved, I love and I will love
My father
I thank God
My beloved ALIRIO ANTONIO APONTE
Yes, if I got to choose a father again
I wouldn’t hesitate to choose you again!
