Let’s talk… Dad

I fell down
And you held me
Wiping my tears
You taught me how to fight my fears…

I crawled, walked and finally ran
When I turned back, I saw you
Cheering and clapping
Saying, come on my child – you can..!

I never asked –
How have you been?
For no one more stronger
Than you, I have seen…!

When days were hard
And ends were very tough to be met
You ensured I had enough of everything
And you – were hungry yet…!

When I had to lean
You gave me your shoulder
When I became weak
You made me stronger and bolder…!

You never said, you loved me
But your actions said it all.
You were ready to sleep on the ground
To ensure I do not ever fall…!

Never did I make any efforts
To know your path and pain
But I always silently noticed
The wrinkles on your forehead caused by the stress and strain…!

I knew you wont share your story
For you fear, it will reduce your glory
But to me you will always be the same
Struggle and loss are just a part of the game…!

So today dad,
Lets come a step closer
Lets peep a bit deeper
Lets talk a bit longer…!

I have always seen you bare the load
I suggest you pass some to me
Together we can pull it better, may be
Give me a chance and we will see…!

I love you dad
Let me say it loud
I am proud to have you in my life
For you are the best man in my life’s crowd..!

The bicycle of your relation
Needs a bit of oiling
Lets release off the tension
Come on Paa, lets have a chat,
the weather is wet outside and
the tea to accompany our chat is hot and boiling…
