Father

Since when I was a
child playing in your lap,
like the brightest star you
have shone in my life till today.
I do not carp
with your rebuke,
because I know that
it is for my good.
You think of me even
when you are busy,
like a planet revolving
around the Sun your
thoughts encircle me.
When things go wrong you
show me the right way,
From all sorts of problems
you keep me away.
Under the umbrella of your
protection I live till today,
even when you will be gone
your love shall glimmer
like the Moon at night.
Thank you Father, for
being such an adorable dad.
