BEST FATHER

My dear dad

I did not choose you

But thanks to GOD

You were the best       

 

I don’t know how you were chosen.

By random, or destiny’s influence?

By predesigned system?

For pleasure or for test?

What ever it was

You were the best

 

If I was given the choice.

Whom would have I chosen?

May be a king or a millionaire.

To do nothing but pleasure and rest

But were they, better than you ?

I knew you were poor

Blown by the storm of life

From east to west,

But the amount of care

On your face with lines

Of struggle and unrest

All were telling me

You were the best

 

Whenever I remember you hugging me

And my small head on your chest

I feel the overflow of love

Like the waves of the sea.

And enjoy the pleasure of owning:

The world, the sun, the stars and the rest

O my dear dad really

You were the best.

 

Never I forget the day

I offered you my first pay.

You returned it with a look,

Full of pride, appreciation and interest.

“Ahead of you a long way”

My dear son ,I suggest

For future you invest”

I am proud of you daddy

You were the best

 

About your cat didn’t I tell you?

The dificult time she went through?

She  used to open you the door .

She waited but you came no more.

Then hopeless and miserable

She laid down on the floor .

And died after one day or two.

What was the reason what was the clue?          

With your devotion ,

How could you enchant?

With power of love

How could you arrest?

Weren’t you the best?  

 

Even if you were very bad

Even if sometimes you might get mad.

Still you were the best

Cause you were my dad.

And for all your kindness

I thank the GOD.
