An Ode to A Perfect Father!

My eyes have cried a river

and my heart has wept out all its blood,

The mind is in its own quiver

while the world's sorrow never stop to flood.

I yearned for you

and called everyone a liar,

The thought of you not being around,

burnt me like fire.

Oh! how foolish was I!

I was searching you around,

For when I looked within

I heard your sound.

It was them it struck me

that you've left this world

But you live in my heart and that's a fact,

And while it beats

You will never be gone

and no one can deny that!

For I can hear you everyday

calling from that kite,

And I see you getting ready

with all the style and hype.

And now you're wearing that

half amused half irritated expression,

For I just messed your hair

which took hours for good impression.

And together we are watching Shinchan

and making eggs,

And when its time for a vacation

2 months before you're packing the bags!

When I have to board a train

"Reach before time"

You are shouting in my brain

And outside the exam hall

I felt you patting my back

Saying "you know all you need,

for this exam to be cracked."

And on my birthday you sang the song

silently in my ear,

Right on the strike of midnight,

exactly like last year.

How can they say you are gone?

when i hear you shouting,

On doing something wrong.

And when I am sad I can sense you around here,

and at times

That roaring laughter of yours is ringing in my ears.

And I can go on and on and on...

and write a never ending tale

For Dear Dad

It was Indeed a Golden Age!

And I do wish I never had to say

"I lost my tail."

And although with all the knowledge

and reasons in the world

I know he lives within me,

But Oh!

How much do I wish to just

touch him, hug him and kiss him

And hold him close to me.

And even though this void can

never be fulfilled ever

Moving on with life seems clever.

For misery never prevails

Sometimes it shines,

At other it hails.

All this is easy enough to say,

But hard to swallow

And though my eyes have dried out

My chest fells shallow.

And this stupid mind of mine is searching in vain,

Looking for your shadow to love and laugh and to follow.

Life is hard,

And In your death I know you've found your peace.

But just be happy and contended and also ready,

For we shall meet.

And again there will be greener fields and prettier skies

As far as the eye can see,

For I'll be your Princess and you'll be my Dedda

And the world will again be beautiful and care free.

And being away from you

I lost my chirpy self

Oh! what a shame!

But with you in the Brighter World

I will be a child again.

And from there on, we will go together forever!

Until the end! Until the end! Until the end!
