Rose Marie Juan-austin Father Poems

My father
Made up stories
Just for me
So short
...

Husband and wife
Ordained by God
Recognized by law
An intimate and permanent partner
...

I still remember the most fragrant flower
That assaulted my senses with wonder
The song that made me cry a river
Is vividly imprinted
...

We were separated
By continents
Huge mountains
Covered with rugs of trees
...

My brother and I
Were born a year apart
I first saw the world
With the sun and the moon
...
