Ode To My Daddy Poem by Leena Bose

I walk down through my memory lane,
Not too far off, just till the day when I recognized you,
Daddy, you are my hero in merry and pain,
Your index finger that I held during the walks on dew,
The little stories that you said of kings and queens,
I remember even the whacks that you gave for my future,
So many memories daddy, that has made me what I am now,
Many a good things that you had for me went unseen,
You are my first admirer for all the little poems I author,
You have always been the source for me to feel endow.

Daddy, you are my guide for me to learn this world,
In every walk of life, I have felt your strong shoulder safeguarding,
You have been with me whenever my dreams whirled,
And always told me that there would be something better waiting,
Dawn to dusk I have bathed in your love,
Like a prodigal daughter unfathomed, I have brushed you aside,
But yet like a guardian angel you have always bestowed blessings,
You have always been there for me and so no one shoved,
Dad, with you besides me, my life has always been a joyride,
If not for you daddy there would have never been these writings.
