You All Dear Fathers Around
You All Dear Fathers Around
Made as you are with grit –
To suffer in silence
All that coming your way!
To look for the bigger things
Leaving the lesser ones
To others’ care!
To face the battle upfront
On all our behalf,
At times, leaving for us no trace
Of the turmoil you went through!
To live with less of everything:
Less grateful people around,
Less appreciation for the work done,
Less of stage time,
Less of selfish hopes –
Yet not crib about any!
You are special to us all,
You all dear fathers around!
