Letter to Dad

"Dad..

 The unkind me, to least acknowledge,
 the ever smiling you, to always provide.
 The weeping, my cribbing, the unappreciativeness,
 the solid you, to remain unperturbed, and still be the best.

 In my times of lows, like everyone else's,
 Your sole attention, with your arms open wide.
 In the happier times, your words of caution,
 preparing me for the worst, and be at my side.

 The seamless blend of love and guidance that you brought me up with,
 Would be greater than all love, and higher than all divinity.
 To payback with my whole life, wouldn't still be worth even a penny,
 What I could do to touch your feet, while I still had you,
 It is true that mother gave me my life to live,
 But the very reason to live, the meaning of which, came from you.

Waiting to reunite with you"
