My Father

My father... You are a unique flower This is how I keep you In my heart forever Until the sunset waves goodbye My father... You dwell now in the heart of Jesus Christ Since with your strongest faith and blissful honor You pleased our Lord, Jesus Christ, who Visited your humble radiant home In the middle of a calm night And hugged your ardent soul With an eternal blessing.. Your beautiful memory, my father, and Your beautiful poetry will linger Over Palestinian heights, your homeland, And shine passionately forever. This poetry was composed and translated to English and Spanish by his two daughters: Suheila Zeidan and Nadia Shahwan in the memory of their father, Panayot Zeidan, who was known as the poet of Palestine. He lived in Aruba for over twenty years working and studying philosophy. He was a member in the Palestinian Book League, he worked as a language teacher in addition to his small business as a merchant, and he composed bounteous poetry that bloomed from his kernel with a great love for his country, Palestine. Mi padre... Usted es una flor única, esto es cómo mantenerle en mi corazón para siempre, hasta que despide de la puesta del sol. Mi padre... Usted detenerme ahora en el corazón de Jesucristo, desde su fe más fuerte y dichosos honor; complace nuestro Señor, Jesucristo, que visitó su humilde casa radiante, en medio de una noche tranquila y abrazó a su alma ardiente con una eterna blessing… Su memoria hermosa, mi padre y su poesía hermosa se persistir en alturas de palestinas, su patria y brillan apasionadamente para siempre.
