Father - An Icon of Inspiration

Whenever I was down & out....
While the world stared at me with doubt....
You inspired me to stand up....
& combat all the challenges tough....

Sometimes funny....mostly a friend....
A supporter in every errand....
A keeper of secrets like no one else would do....
I trust you...I respect you....!

Your tenets....your philosophies....
Form the soul of my idiosyncrasies....
I am your gene....the genius in you....
Every inch, I am your product,its true....

Let me thank you for my life...for my identity....
Let me thank you for your sacrifices plenty...
A “thanks“ is a small word rather....
To justify the real role of a father....!
