When
I opened my eyes the first,
I saw him, a stiff and a huge man;
To
me, it was him, at his best,
Who always had an attitude of ‘I
can’;
I
used to feel protected, staying in her arms,
Feel safe being with my lovely
mother;
Being
with her is so secure and void of harm,
Who else is around, I didn’t bother!
At
first, it was difficult to accept him,
Commands over me if I wasn’t gentle;
For
the mischief I did, he shows a grim,
Seeing which, I go calm to settle.
I
grew up to feel, He is nice by his gesture,
Majestic, Mature, Calm and Cool;
My
eyes slowly turned to him, for his nature,
Felt if nurtured by him, I can’t
grow a fool.
It
was too early for me to think about career,
Though I was too naïve to define
role model;
But,
after looking at his life with success and cheer,
I learnt cheer doesn’t sustain if I
dawdle.
I
have reached many of my dreams,
Though there was a lot of pressure
or stress;
Handled
them easy and cool without any screams,
With his savings, support and bless!
Now,
when he transforms his strengths, as he ages,
He neither bids adieu nor feels to retire;
Relentlessly
adds value to my life with his adages,
Proud at his past and my present to
admire!
Even
today, in the equation of life,
He covers my minus with his plus;
When
the unfilled X and Ys are at rife,
Balances with his math, without any fuss.
Everybody
needs a father like the one
A man who is useful always as he
redefines;
And
feel, without him life is none,
Aspires me to be a strong man, yet
refined!
