A Lost Treasure Of Father’s Love! Poem by Umasree Raghunath

A lost treasure of father’s love!
Date: 8 Jan 1995


The treasure I possessed few years ago
Is nowhere to be found near me today
Dear father, where did you go?
Leaving behind this sinful creature this day
Alone, and scared for reasons unknown
Your smiles where there with me,
Your love is vast and I had always to see
But today, no more smiles nor no love
Forgetful I am not in Daddy’s demise
Dad, you were my life’s very base
Inspiration and integrity gained
But to retain till today I failed
Fate did lead you to heavens above
To destiny, suspicion, fear I had to bow
Never in the past, had I dreamed this would happen
But it became a dreadful truth sicken and weaken
Poetry, stories, paintings, and essays I did
May remain, but not me without you
Daddy, years ahead to come
But not for me, without you
Daddy, fears all the way become
Scaring me, without you
Daddy, my only wish, I welcome
To reach you, in me with you
With all my thoughts about you
I bid a tearful farewell and adieu
