The Pillar-Father's Day Poem
Is it Babu The frail voice hummed
Were the last words of the Pillar
A pillar that rose like a phoenix
from the non existence to BE
A man of steel and of character
Made life look like a Garden
The Pillar Showed us
what it takes to provide shelter
And what it feels like to be blessed
From my time in moments of frenzy
For the remnants of tea from his office flask
To the dangling watch to get a ticket to a movie
Training me on cultivating to Harvesting And
Transforming a barren land in to a flower garden
From handing me over a Dictionary at 10
To ask me to read the newspaper at 13
From catching my fingers to teach me to walk
To teach me to garner the household requirements
From teaching me to eat my food in time
To Time my studies to match the results
From showing me the value of care
To teach me how to care for myself
That was a Pillar of substance
Today i think of yesterday
When i was Reckless and chubby
Yet somewhere down in the slate
Of my subconscious was the imprint
The indelible mark of the Pillar
Reminding me that the value of Zero
always increased besides the family
The roar of a lion which tamed us
Could only be tamed by the Time..
All this and more were behind me
To always send me signals of Time
So I Walk And I Walk And I Walk.......
SWANSH..
