Dedicated To All Father's

Dedicated to my father, husband and all great father's who are often misunderstood ~~~~~ My mother passed away when I was ten but I never really missed her thanks to an amazing father who sacrificed his life for the happiness of his four children ~~~~~~ Whenever my son falls sick, my husband gets panicky even for small fever He always goes out of the way to ensure his son is happy and tension free ~~~~~ While we all talk and praise mother's love father stands listening He loves his children dearly at times more than mother but is unable to to express it in so many words he worries silently cries deep within without tears he cannot use flowery language to express feelings he can merely show it in action through his selfless service He works hard without bothering about his comforts Goes to office with just a lunchbox in hand and comes at night Many times stays away from family without home food and comforts all for his family He is always thinking of his family members and their happiness Father is often misunderstood as insensitive and uncaring A father merely seeks some understanding and praise from family. He asks nothing else But even this small wish often goes unfulfilled as all family member's criticise him....

So sweet of you to recognize your father for the caring, loving parent that he truly is. Sincerity permeates every line of this wonderful write, Rama. A tender tribute. Hope and Happiness, Gershon

Thanks Gershon. This is dedicated to all fathers, all males who sacrifice their life for family. This one flowed from within as I was thinking of my past to write on Silent ones new contest. I cried after writing this. He was a great person. My mother died when I was small he single handedly took care of 4 kids dedicated his life for us.

You stuck a cord with me, Rama-- I was never close to my father, and I guess I still don't fully appreciate how hard he worked for us.
