Fathers Day
Foremost man from my first breath
Alpha male whose blood runs through my veins
Teaching me to take my first step
Harnessing my boisterous energy to groom
Ensuring that I grew up to be an upright citizen,
Raising decent and law-abiding kids of my own
Secured and content in my old age.
Demanding though was my dad, yet was lenient
Admonishing at every wrong step, yet supportive,
Yeoman’s work he did bringing me up right. Thank You.
