A Tribute To My Father Poem by Vidyadhar Durgekar
A Tribute To My Father
Holding the little finger of your hand,
Walking on the mounds of paddy field,
Watching the dancing of green weeds,
Like the cuscuta weed in tomato field;
Watching greenery in the wet sand,
Teaching me to pluck the parasitic weeds,
Like sparrow teaching young to pick seeds
Helping paddy to grow with a healthy blend
Taking me out everyday morning,
For a long paddy field walking,
Sparking a practice of dreaming
To be focused on becoming something;
I owe you for what I am,
You taught me to be a man,
With values I will live till I am,
You took me around to show our world,
Like the Sun taking the planets around,
Whenever I needed, You were there around
Like the sun, moon, planets going round and round
Teaching virtues which were in you profound,
Like the Egyptian sphinx on a mountain mound,
Giving the books of Jesus & Vivekananda
Helping me to find divine ananda,
In those ancient sermons of Vedas
And the verses of sage Sarvajna;
This shows the divine relationship between father and son so profoundly. A relationship that reflects how we should relate to our heavenly father.
very nice poem. ur style is very good. I like it. If u find time read my MY SWEAT. u may like it
It is humbling to others to read of the sacred love you have for your father Thank you for sharing this
'I owe you for what I am, You taught me to be a man, With values I will live till I am, ' you can not pay a better tribute to your father than what you have said in these lines, vidyadhar!
beautiful poem...on one of the best relationship in the world......well done
fantastic poem, i love my dad so much and reading this poem i can see how much you love your dad and respect him.... you are lucky to get a wonderful dad, and his love for you has made you write this poem..
Fantastic...who is lucky? ..you or your father...both for having each other...you're a perfect son.remarks beyond stars
That is the greatest encomium a son can pay to his prathyaksha dheivam!
though we become parents ourselves, how we wish parents are forever! if u've time i've one on 'parents' n 'for my father' n 'a mother in mourning'
