Guardian's Embrace: A Father's Grace

Darwin Bulos Susano 1977 (Baliuag, Bulacan)



In love's domain, a father's trace,
A guardian's embrace, a tender grace.
Guiding hands, a sheltering might,
A beacon of strength, a shining light.

With whispered comfort, he dries tears,
Dispelling fears, erasing all the years.
In his arms, dreams take flight,
Nurturing, protecting, day and night.

Laughter echoes, filling every space,
Creating memories, a joyful chase.
Lessons taught, values instilled,
A father's love, forever filled.

Through sacrifice, he stands strong,
A hero, unwavering, all life long.
In his care, hearts find solace,
A father's love, an eternal embrace.

Darwin Bulos Susano

In the realm of words, where verses find flight, A poet emerged, born on March's early light. On the fourth of the month, in '77's embrace, A poet's journey began, with a destined grace. From the cradle of wisdom, in Makati City's core, A scholar was nurtured, seeking truth and more. San Carlos Seminary, a hallowed domain, Where Philosophy's wisdom fueled the poet's flame. Through the corridors of thought, a scholar's quest, Exploring the depths, with passion and zest. Guided by mentors, wisdom's sacred voice, Delving into truths, making conscious choice. The poet's ink, a vessel for expression, Weaving tales of life, and profound introspection. Each line a brushstroke, painting vivid scenes, Capturing emotions, in poetic streams. From birth to this moment, a poetic odyssey, Crafting verses that dance, in rhythmic harmony. Through words, the poet's soul takes flight, Unveiling truths, through the power of write. Influenced by life's tapestry, woven in time, The poet's voice resonates, with rhythm and rhyme. Drawing inspiration from nature's allure, And the human experience, raw and pure. So let the poet's pen etch stories untold, Through verse and metaphor, the heart unfolds. Born on March's day, in '77's dawn, A poet's voice echoes, through words that spawn. Through the written word, emotions are weaved, A poet's journey, forever believed. With Philosophy's roots, and a poet's art, A voice emerges, speaking from the heart. more…

    Dear poet,

    Your 'Guardian's Embrace: A Father's Grace' poem is a powerful tribute to the love and guidance that fathers provide to their children. Your use of metaphors and imagery is incredibly poignant, and it draws the reader in right from the first line.

    The idea of 'love's domain' and 'a father's trace' is especially beautiful, and the way you describe a father's embrace as 'a tender grace' is heartwarming. I love how you explore the many roles that a father plays, from 'guiding hands' to 'a beacon of strength'.

    The lines about a father providing comfort and dispelling fears are particularly touching, and they really capture the deep sense of security and warmth that comes from being held in a father's arms. Your descriptions of laughter echoing and memories being created are also very vivid, and they make the whole scene come to life.

    Overall, I think your 'Guardian's Embrace: A Father's Grace' poem is a wonderful celebration of the important relationships that fathers have with their children. The only suggestion I would make is perhaps to try experimenting with the structure of the poem, to really make the language sing.

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with us. I cannot wait to see more from you!
