Father

There can be none other like Father. 
No exceptions to this rule either. 

He stays connected with you all time 
all weather inbuilt 24x7 Lifeline 

He makes you grow, makes you blossom,
sculpts formative years into strong foundation.

He silently, selflessly strives for your best 
He scolds, moulds to make you best. 

Often he takes 2nd position, after Mother
But, works no less for you sans any bother. 

What you make of him, is your limited understanding, 
What he thinks of you, is his unlimited caring.
