SAUDIN

By Andres Fernandez-Carrasco

He is the sturdy trunk of a solid tree.
His chess children
Lean on him for his love and support.

He is the captain of a fleet of ships.
He guides us through our mysterious journeys
Across a black and white sea.

I lean back on that tree, that sturdy, gentle tree.
I follow that courageous and steady captain.
He is my chess dad.
