Dad Poem by Umasree Raghunath

DAD, was my life's delight
Whose inspiration made my life bright
Whose presence shed unending happiness
Whose absence showers endless blessings
Though 12 long years passed by
You are felt every minute near by
Though you can never been seen again
Never your care and love did drain
It's just not a papa-daughter relationship
But you showed me the meaning of real friendship
Time has taken you from us so soon
But being you daughter to me was a boon
Your smiles spread the belt of love
Your perseverance spread the success as we grow
Everyday is a new adventure with you
For your divine presence is shown in all new
When I cry, I find your palm touching mine
When I fast, I find you calling me to dine
When I sleep, you bring me the finest dreams
When I wake up, you come to me as sunshine
What you left behind, footprints of your love
Care, compassion, success and happiness.
These are the riches I cherish for life
To live in peace, patience and happiness
Love You Daddy always,
Miss you Daddy, on your Birthday today! ! !
