Times come to award a man,
he is none other but a boatman,
his legacy is not but discipline,
that neither one of the nine of us claim
and neither of us think a blame,
to the harsh and autocratic father like him!
He thinks the liquor solves his poverty,
then sent the family into calvary,
one by one left to escape the man.
but not this heroic woman.
she is responsible of family solidarity,
to tatay we love you as we pray,
my Tatay Felix never end up in the bay.
This is a lovely poem, It shows such emotions that many families live through. I know alot of these feelings as they were once mine. Luckily I have made my amends. Hopefully you can to. 9/10

I would like to translate this poem
An honest tribute to her father from a loving daughter. I do not have nine, but just one daughter. I do not think I was autocratic or alcoholic. We were not rich, but I could take care of my daughter reasonably well. I do not hesitate to say, I am a proud father of a noble daughter. Susan, your father also should be! ! !
