Poem
Days go past us, as do winds of season, But never the days and years That get stuck in some ear and age, That engulf us like mirages in a desert. One such mirage in my life is of my Dad, Always before me, waiting for me; Yet I never reach in time to be near; So near to me, yet so far away. Never did he forsake me, in life, Never for moment, never for a day; Always beside me in my hours of need — A dear friend, a true companion, a great dad. He suggested the best books to me, But never pushed them into my hands; A mere suggestion about the inputs — The next thing I know, I have my hands full. He sang tunes soothing, melodious, But never forced me to listen to any songs; A mere suggestion about the notes — My passion for music was born! His acquaintances, colleagues, all friends; Value of friends in life is priceless; A friend is a cool morning breeze, Surround life with friends, my list’s endless. Never fear life’s rollercoaster ride; No problem is without a solution: Life is too short to fret and fear; And so, I tried, yet fear engulfed me. He came back into my life in many forms, Beating death; guided me with many a face: As friends, notes of music, verses from books — He never left me and my life, my Dad.
