TRIBUTE

  My beloved father
                                My teacher, preacher, philosopher and guide.
                       You taught me to think precise, analyse and decide.
                       You taught me universal moral values to honor
                        You taught me to be dutiful in behavior.

                None knows what happens to a being after death.
               But I feel your presence in mind on my every breath.
                I am confident that you are still with me showing light
                to illuminate my path of life whenever in plight.
    
                 You have gone away yet have left
                 immense blessings that I have felt
                  on occasions protecting me like shield    
                   in my every step in every field
   
              Miracles also happened to realize and perceive.
              Our souls interacted, though hard to believe.
