Couplets For Daddy

Written on: 17th June 2012.
On the occasion of Father’s Day.
Akin a singular solitary mountain standing alone,
His love is deep, steep solid & spontaneous and his very own.
He always bears my rumbling and blaring,
But will stand by me even if the world against me is flaring.
He will always in others eyes elevate me and in his own eyes adore me,
Talk about me with glowing pride & content he wants me to always be.
When God made him for me,
Filled a portion of his heart, to give to me, peace happiness and glee.
God took
From mountains and plateaus,
Strength to put into me and its seeds to sow
From the smiling shinning sun,
Feelings of “warmth” for me his son
From the vast blue seas,
Tranquility and calmness to give me for free.
From the ever green nature,
Generosity for me from within to grow in stature.
From the silent night,
Comfort and coziness to make me always all right.
From age,
Wisdom to impart to me and not inner rage.
From the eagle’s flight,
Power to have but never use in its own right.
From monsoon’s pristine & unsullied morn,
Joys for my life to adorn.
From a mustard seed,
Faith inside me to forever breed.
From eternity for me,
Patience in my life even to an intolerable degree.
All these virtues God took,
And tied them all with humanity’s comely hook.
Then on life’s canvas he did a portrait and colored it all,
And made a man, “ Dad” for me to call.
To my “Dad” on Father’s day,
From the bottom of my heart I say “I love you” in my own way.
To me Father’s Day means much more,
Than with these few penned words I bring fore.
Once more…………….
Daddy ………Happy Father’s Day…………..
