Best Fatherbeautiful Poems
MY FATHER,
I thank you, if it wasn't for you i wouldn't be here today
i thank you for loving me unconditionally as i am,
i thank you for being always there with an ear to hear me,
i thank you for showing me the paths i ought to walk,
i thank you for providing me with good food and health,
i thank you for being a pillar,everytime i felt insecure,unloved,
i thank you for forgiven me everytime i got stubborn
and did it my way as if i knew better than you know myself,
i thank you for your big heart,your kindness a radiance upon my soul
i thank you for being my strength in my weaknesses,every time i fall giving
me your hand so i rise up again,not scolding me but showering me with love
my dear father,
i thank you for all that you've created for me,this heaven on earth,
the beautiful rivers,mountains,forests,water cascades and nature's glory.
i thank you for the yellow sun which warms me every morning,
the sun which brightens my days.i thankyou for the moon and the stars
which twinkles soft sweet light,lullabying me to sleep....................
i thank you for the rain which feeds and nourishes the crops,so i may
eat ,live and survive,i thankyou for the thunderstorms which reminds me
of your power,that with you near me i'm safe,you're my knight protecting me.
my dear father,
i can never stop thanking you,the list is never ending,my last thanks would go
for the rainbow which every now and then peeps through my window sill,
the beautiful coloured rainbow which reminds me of the path...........
the path,the gift of love to me---to your rebellious naughty little child.........
a grown up woman now,still a child in your eyes-------------------------------
i love you my father and i can't wait to see you face to face in the land of no
sorrows,the land of love,serenity and peace......................................
thank you dear God for being My perfect DAD
This big hug is for you ---In my own imperfect love i love you.............
H A P P Y F A T H E R'S DAY-------------YOUR DAUGHTER
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.
