A Father Is Immortal- Happy Birthday Dad

Happy birthday Dad



Ever since you left us all in tears,
our hearts ached in grief for years.

Sweet memories of times together,
brush gently as subtle touch of feather !

Longing to touch you and embrace,
while feeling your presence at every place.

Your smiling face in my eyes I embellish,
but wonder why in a blink you vanish?

That in my each cell you are very much alive,
It was too late to realise and end up strife.

Remember the days of joy, None of them so sad,
Today I am wishing you happy birthday dear Dad!

Life given by your father is celebrating within you dear Dr. Upma. May he rest in peace. Here, I would like to repeat me verse: Death, a celestial pillow is/ Upon which the soul rests for a while/ Dreaming of the life to come! May I join and wish "him" Happy Birthday? Certain I am that his soul celebrates today as he sees what a fine daughter he has!
