Dear Dad Poem by DRASHI SHAH

Dear Dad

Rating: 5.0


You are not a Actor,
nor a film-maker still,
you are marvelous factor,
and a great director...

You are not a Tree
that gives us shelter but
you are that warm shade
under which I grew up…

You are not a stunt-man
that would peel-off bad men;
still you are a great man
who saved me always from worst men…

You are not any lotion
that would heal my skin
still you are the healer of
my sadness, wound ness and broken heart....

You are not a big hero,
that is found in many eyes
but you are that superhero
found only in you daughter's eyes..

You are not a coal,
that would catch fire rapidly
still you will caught red, if
one will put me in danger bed...

You are not a wonderful place
where one and all like to come
but my 'Dear Dad' to sleep
in your lap is that place
where I feel SHRUSTI under my feet.......


-LOVE YOU DADDY

That's really a wonderful tribute to all dear dads under the sky. So innocent! So true to the heart! Daughter's voices are amazingly echoed throughout the poem. I've liked it very much. Thanks for sharing this beautiful poem. (You'vedone a good job by putting the meaning of Gujarati word 'SHRUSTI' in the footnote)
