A poem for my father's birthday
A poem for my father’s birthday
I realized, less than a year ago,
that you were old.
You are a grandfather now;
and you are completely and utterly
and helplessly mortal.

Para el cumpleaños de mi padre
Me di cuenta, hace un año,
que ya eras viejo.
Ya tienes un nieto,
y eres sin duda totalmente y
sin ninguna poder, mortal.
