Beata Agustin Poet Dramatic Verse

EMPTY ROOM ONCE

Absent from the body
against oxygen-gasping
Dad entered his 
Father's house 
of "many mansions..."*

Today, we gather
as his fruits with gratitude
commemorating Father's Day
in this once empty room 
that reverberates his legacy.

*John 14:1-2 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
