Papi

Eredio, Piri, Papi,
where is he, what is he doing?

In his father's home-based pharmacy,
learning, helping.

On the Cuban battlefields,
defending, risking.

At the Banco Popular,
working, leading.

In deep and high seas,
cruising, fishing.

In our quiet family home,
joking, singing.

In retreat with his beloved,
praying, being.
