On Poems and Articles Part 2

Dahil nga nabanggit ko sa last blog post ko na magshare ako ng magandang poem, eto na yun in celebration of Father's Day :)

Here is Shifting the Sun by Diana Der-Hovanessian...

Shifting the Sun

When your father dies, say the Irish
you lose your umbrella against bad weather.
May his sun be your light, say the Armenians.

When your father dies, say the Welsh
you sink a foot deeper into the earth.
May you inherit his light, say the Armenians

When your father dies, say the Canadians
you run out of excuses.
May you inherit his sun, say the Armenians.

When your father dies, say the Indians
he comes back as the thunder.
May you inherit his light, say the Armenians.

When your father dies, say the Russians,
he takes your childhood with him.
May you inherit his light say the Armenians.

When your father dies, say the British,
you join his club you vowed you wouldn’t.
May you inherit his sun, say the Armenians.

When your father dies, say the Armenians,
your sun shifts forever
and you walk in his light.

And Happy Father's Day to all my sibling-brothers, my cousins, relatives and friends!!!
