Kylie Padilla pens heartwarming poem for dad Robin’s birthday
Kylie Padilla took to Instagram to pen a heartwarming poem for her father Robin’s special day.
Sharing a photo of them hugging tightly with Robin’s back to the camera, Kylie expressed how thankful she is for having him as guide throughout her whole life.
The 24-liner poem read:
Writing about you, I would have to do with the most expensive kind of ink
Irreplaceable, you knew me when I could not yet even think
And you taught me to give life’s battle a good effing fight
And I fight with all the strength I have
I know you in ways even I don’t understand, yet
It’s in the way we go quiet when we are sad, it’s loud
It’s in the way that we don’t speak, but we feel it
And the way I try to find you in people that I seek
It’s how I find comfort in just one touch
In an embrace I waited so long to grasp
For a moment I felt like I lost something
A something, a thing that only you could bring and it would be enough
Wounds have their own way of healing
And time is where it finds it’s truest meaning
In all the things I cannot say
All the games I no longer want to play
It’s the return to a girl I needed to face
I don’t want any precious memories to go to waste
So with this ink, I rewrite the story
One where I am thankful and I am sorry
I think it’s what you call maturity
Or maybe only now I understand how your prayers protected me
Love is a beautiful thing once it sets you free
So today I would just like to thank you for being a father to me.
Apart from the sweet message, Kylie will also be releasing a YouTube vlog featuring a conversation that they’ve never had before on Friday.
In the 48-second teaser, Kylie was seen teary-eyed as she shared some of the realizations and lessons she learned from the way Robin and her mom Liezl Sicangco raised her.
“Nakita ko na kailangan talaga bigyan ng time yung mga magulang, parents, and bigyan ng importance yung family mo before,” she said. “Kailangan kong ayusin yung tayo para maayos ko rin yung [akin].”
“You trained me really well. I love the way you parented us. I love you, Pa. Thank you,” Kylie added.
Earlier this month, the two spent time together and posed for some sweet father-and-daughter photos.
Happy birthday, Robin! — Franchesca Viernes/LA, GMA News
