An Eminent Father

A Tribute To A Father

We live in this world with patience

exploring the nature, people ideas

and noble metaphors to what it will

take us to challenge the big game

of uncertainties of the wild card

of existence - we must go through

Praise this man as he move on

and he is taking the challenge of

wild card of life by his daughter

and himself as well, with sacrifices

A father in his wings like an Eagle

courageously protecting, patiently

taking care his daughter Ann-ann

who acquired life-threatening meningitis

With his out flowing tolerance

like in the middle of the ocean floating,

sailing against the waves, and storm of life.

Following the protocol of health,

let live his daughter against complications

as his daughter was paralyzed from 11 years of age

until today at the age of thirty two years.

A father with dedication, diligence and stamina.

A father to be commended, cherished and admired

by his loved ones, friends, and who knows him

And be honored in every Father's Day,

yet not only on Father's Day but to be everyday

God bless you - Mr. Ed Rodriguez
