What Makes a Dad

UNSUPPORTED CODE 

Once God was in crafting mood,
He had to gift something precious to the world.
And the Imagination Bee had gone far to play.
The God was blank.

So he took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need.

Then the God combined these qualities.
And there was nothing more to add.

He looked at it,
And knew His masterpiece was complete.

He called it ... Dad,
And sent it on Earth.

Hey SKAT. Nice to have a such a sweet and melodious comment from you. Honestly, I had forgotten about this website until few minutes back when a mail popped out from Poetry Soup and I read your warm words. :) It shows that you are a poet by heart. I am Panchatapa, an Indian lady who loves to read Gulzar Sahib and Ruskin Bond (recent found love) and loves to express observations in words. I don't know how to add FRIEND here. So if you could help :). Wish you and your family a very wonderful NEW YEAR. Abundance of Love. Panchatapa
