Poems like these that are honest and heartfelt put a human face on the struggles of immigrants in this country. Thank you for sharing this with us. I believe poetry has the power to bring understanding and humanity, and your poem does that. You rock!

Your work is vivid, dramatic, and inspiring. As unjust laws such as sb1070 in Arizona pass your work is refreshing..keep writing and giving a voice to the underrepresented and misunderstood “immigrant”…

This poem is inspiring. It’s a reminder of how people come to the United State to live the “American Dream” and provide a better life for their loved ones but are faced with distress and dishonesty and yet are able to survive. His children are his proof..Yes Apa could have taken the law into his own hands but he didn’t because he is “un hombre honrado” and in doing so we too are honest people…Erika keep up the great work..Your voice is being heard!
