A Wholesome Gratitude Poem by Mihir Modi

A Wholesome Gratitude



The gossip among every dick, harry and tom,
Is always about Godly figure mom!
People opine he is strict as ring master and anger is hot red,
person is none other than our dad!

Without him incomplete is our full name,
yet friends tease each other by his name!
Instead of all this our wish is fulfilled before it is said,
Yet we treat red hot person as our dad!

For us he buys everything on every occasion,
but in that course he remains unshaved even on day of celebration!
Yet, on our success, mom is greated and he is often starred,
still that red hot person is our dad!

Entire family cries when daughter moves towards in - laws
But to console "father's doll" he don't allow single tear to flow!
After all this disobedience in return makes him frayed,
Then, why do we call red hot person as our, dad!

As a son we never talk to him in open and prefer to run,
believe in spending money on girl friend that was hard to earn!
After so much care we kick him from life and insult from toe to head,
Yet that red hot helpless person is dad!

Responsibility of entire family is solely shouldered,
How severe those are we never wondered!
He provides us all basics of life and deeply cared,
Yet red hot person is none other than our dad!

Life without him is beyond imagination,
He deserves lot of love, respect and appreciation!
It was mistake to consider him as hot as red,
We love you and kudos to you dad!

This poem made me think a lot about my own father, also my grandfather. It helped me to appreciate them more which is a great value to receive from any poem. There is real feeling about the father expressed in this poem and overall, the feeling that while a mother may often receive credit for the good in her children, sometimes the father is standing in the shadows. I liked this poem for those reasons. And the feeling of the teasing among the friends about the strictness of the Dad added a flash of something, a color of something interesting and living to the poem.
