Miss You, Daddy!

How did you feel Daddy?

What happened there?

You are a fighter, we know,

Then, why did you give up?

You must have felt too lonely,

None of us could be by your side,

We too tested positive for the virus,

And had to be home quarantined !

I know you were never alone ever,

But, this covid wants it that way,

It is ruling over us and not letting us,

To be our own selves as before!

How helpless we were that week,

You in hospital and we at home,

Not able to reach you at times,

Even on the telephone!

Forgive us, we were helpless,

We couldn't come to comfort you,

To take care or be by your side,

Even on the last day of your life!

Feel some comfort that Mona met you,

Even though it was for a little while,

So glad Joel was here to insist on the test,

And take us to the hospital and everything else !

I thought that you would definitely get better,

Like every other time, you were sick,

You would fight it out and get back home,

I would nurse you to health, being by your side!

Now I know, age wasn't by your side,

And you were too tired & weak to fight,

This virus is our enemy,

Which we will dread all our lives !

Love you, Daddy, words can't express,

You just vanished too quickly,

Just can't think you aren't amongst us,

Feel your presence and love, it's always with us!
