“He Gave Me Wings, Silently” is a tribute to the quiet, unwavering, and often unspoken strength of a father’s love. This anthology invites writers to explore the subtle ways fathers shape our lives—not always through grand gestures, but through silent sacrifices, steady presence, and gentle guidance.

From the encouraging nods in our lowest moments to the silent pride in our victories, this book tells stories, poems, letters, and reflections that capture the unseen hands that held us steady and the unheard words that pushed us forward.

We are looking for pieces that reflect:

• The emotional depth of a father-child bond
• Moments of learning, growing, or healing because of a father’s presence
• Personal anecdotes, fictional tales, or heartfelt poems
• Diverse father figures—biological dads, grandfathers, single mothers who became both, mentors, or guardians who played the role

Whether your father is/ was a man of few words or one who showed up in unexpected ways, your words are light of gratitude, memory, or even healing.
