My Father Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Father, you are no more in physical senses
Passed away from this world for ever
Leaving me alone in the sense of living
But still your memory always in my mind.

Father you gave me lot of inspiration
And also punishment when I erred in childhood
Scolded sometimes and loved me most of times
Still I remember your attachment to me.

Father when fall in the well while taking water
And came to rescue me in such a speed
Do you remember my fear of you and told
Not to punish me after I came up by beating?

Father I remember your tearful reply to me
My son you are my beloved and will not punish
Please come upwards with such a strength of mind
To face the challenges of human life better

I remember I was a little problem child to you
And always tried to escape from your close net
Still your eyes were followed me everywhere
Where my presence and plays were going on.

Whenever my mother tried to give punishment
And reports my absence and over playing
You saved me in silence and protected me
From the punishment of inadequate food supply
From the kitchen the sole director the mother.

Father when you accompanied to the high school
For my first admission day I remember your guidance
Study well and became a best individual in village
Be your name known to others as a model of values.

In this later years of life I remember your guidance
Though I have not fully able to grow with your wishes
Still father I tries my best of efforts to a decent life
And to serve the humanity as much as I can.
