My Dad

It's been precisely 18 years 9 months and 4 days

Since when we've been performing our duties of father and son

The journey has been amazing, the experiences been ecstatic

Moments spent with you, the memories have been nostalgic.

 

Where mom's been a character of affection and care

You have been a guiding pillar of strength and feeling that you're always there

Your love is as fresh as the morning dew

For that my Daddy, I say thank you.

 

Grateful as I am today,

For having to experience your sweet embraces

And for your patience that never ceases

Your unconditional support and unending faith in me is something divine

And that for my future growth is a good sign.

 

With logical mind of yours as techno-oriented as it is today

IIT was the perfect place you stayed

Never looking for praises,

You're never the one to boast,

You just go on quietly to work

For those whom you love the most.

 

With many more years to come, days to go

You have become a much wiser man after all your highs and lows

Every child needs a gentle hand

To guide them as they grow

So walk alongside me, Dad

We have a long way to go!
