This is an old composition... I am posting it at a time it is difficult to deal with Dad.... to remind me... Happy Birthday Dad!
My Dad's Embrace
This is a thing that brings me much joy. We are not always in good terms but the serenity, the love, the acceptance and the happiness I feel under his arms just make me feel as if everything is alright.
I always believed that I am lucky to have Tatay as my father. It makes me experience in the flesh the love that God has for me. Not always agreeable, but always wise. Not always pleasant but always loving.
I would always remember a time when I was about four or five and dad was working in his room in Antipolo, I disturbed him and he stopped what he was doing, took me in his lap, embraced me and let me pour out my sentiments over what I perceived then to be an unjust treatment from nanay. I could't recall what he said but the smile and warm hug that went with it soothes my spirit in my low moments... up till now.
He is an anchor to me. I know life will never be unfair because it has given me my dad anyway....
