POEMS COURTESY OF BLOSSOM

 

My Father

 

My father, my father,

An honorable man,

A valiant warrior,

A quintessence of strength,

Oh! I love you.

 

My father, my father,

Gentle like a dove,

Caring like a mother,

Loving like a god,

Oh! May you live long .

 

My father, my father,

Your selflessness obliterates every atom of selfishness.

Your anger, kindled against indiscipline

A virtue of moral connoisseur,

Oh! Your days are blessed.

 

My father, my father

Your puerile company I missed,

Your unforgettable teachings,

Your godly ways I will never depart from,

Your sagacity in every field,

My father, my father,

Oh! I cherish you,

Oh! I love you.
