My Father

My Father

If ever I have regarded

any man as complete,

it has to be my father!!

Virtues he wears

like jewels in his crown-

knowledge, discipline

willpower and energy….

of them all from his kitty

what made him as perfect as he is???!!!

I stand in stupor

dazzled by his persona-

a mere indistinct shadow

of his worth and charm.

I enriched myself till he led my way

here now I am struck by poverty

of wisdom and intellect.

I pray to the Lord,

let him live as long

as the sun in the sky

like a blazing source of life.
