Daddy Poem by Vishnu Sampoorn

O Dad,

You are great,
so tough and so strong

You always inspired me
never to bow before wrong

You taught me to lie for good
if it causes someone gains,

A lie that brings happiness
is better than truth that pains

It's you whom I look up to
when I am in any doubt
You inspire me to fight hard
And knock the problem out

Your hard work and responsibility
have taught me to be tough
Be nice to all but always keep
Firm hands to deal the rough

You taught me to be practical
as how to deal with strife,
You taught me to be confident
as that is the way of life
