I wrote this for my Dad for Father's Day, June 1996.
"Quien Es Este Hombre?"
Quien es este hombre quien me cargaba de niña;
que le muestra a su familia tanta plena devoción;
escondida su emoción,
pero evidente en sus ojos y en su amplio corazón?
Quien es este hombre que con su ejemplo me enseña;
que vive su vida diaria con simple dignidad;
es generoso en gran capacidad;
y cree en la disciplina, amistad, y la verdad?
Quien es este hombre que me apoyó en mis estudios;
que con todos es sincero;
y has demostrado su amor, que es leal y duradero?
Es mi padre, quien yo, con el alma, quiero.
“Who is This Man?” (ENGLISH TRANSLATION)
Who is this man who carried me as a little girl;
Who is devoted to his family;
With hidden emotion,
but evident in his eyes and in his ample heart?
Who is this man, who teaches by example;
Who lives his daily life with simple dignity;
Who is generous in great capacity;
And believes in discipline, friendship, and truth?
Who is this man, who supported me in my studies;
Who is sincere with everyone;
Who has shown his love,
that is loyal and enduring?
He is my father, whom I love with all my soul.
