PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Dear father, my very own father,

But for you I would not have been;

Through your best expression of love,

You gave meaning to a lifeless theme.



You did all you could do for me,

My mother and all my siblings;

You suffered much of life's misery,

To make sure that joy on us springs.



You acted like a real he man,

And cared for us at every step,

You did not think about your comfort,

Nor display all the tears you wept.



You toiled for us day and night,

And battled with tremendous odds,

You did only what was right,

And scoffed at all man-made gods.



You enriched me with education,

Nourished my heart, brain and soul,

You sowed the seeds of wisdom and,

Taught me kindness and right action.



Chivalry in me did you impart,

Through example and through deeds,

You made me fear none but God,

Prepared me to fight the evil creed.



You would not eat if I did not,

You would not sleep if I didn't,

If even a scratch ever hurt me,

You would always act to blot it out.



My well being and my success,

Were always your cherished dream,

And to make sure I grew up straight,

You sacrificed much of your esteem.



Dear father, how can I repay,

Your love which you showed for me,

Can all my deeds ever match,

That which you did throughout for me?



You have left me on my own right now,

Entrusting me to God Almighty;

And today I have naught to offer,

But a humble tribute from me.



May God bless you dear father,

And may your soul have blissful peace,

May your hereafter happiness abound,

And may your heavenly grades increase.



Your love, how I miss it these days,

Your care, how I wish it stays with me,

Enwrapped in the thoughts of fondness,

And affection for now and eternally.
