A Father's Drop Poem by Ishan Chaitanya

Sweet child of today, man of tomorrow,
If you see confusion, if you see sorrow,
If you see delusion and if you see terror,
Please try to understand the human error.
Take care of you, my child, as mentioned above,
To recognize wisdom, to accept true love;
Avoid the pitfalls of envy and greed.
Refrain from collecting what you don't really need,
And if you see a reason to judge your poor father,
I hereby say to you as one soul to another:
I loved you and nourished you the best that I could,
(If I had known better then I surely would)
Dive deep into you and examine your heart.
Things don't go forever the way they start.
Some greater forces see me, see you,
Directing our lives and seeing us through.
Judge not by appearances, not by facade,
Always see through this great old charade.
Believe when I say, I did you my best,
And remember - true love will stand any test.
