I thank God for being my father.
For your reproaches and advice.
For the good that you taught me
and you always took care of me.
For being a kind father,
full of peace and wisdom.
Because you love the truth.
Justice and righteousness overmuch.
For being my beloved father
and teach me charity.
Noble feelings cover you.
You don't know evil.
Noble and sparing knight,
you taught me how to fight
Always aiming for the highest
and not to give up on my dreams.
Abhors all evil.
For your heavenly values.
For guiding me by the hand
on flower-filled paths.
Pablo Neruda
To My Father
