Dear Father! ! ! Poem by Shahzia Batool

Death is a great leveller of time. I feel exactly as you- as I have lost my father recently. This is what I feel now No sugar there is, no salt, no taste, things are just an utter waste. good write +10

I lost my mother when I was just 16, and then my father when I was 29. A life without ones parents is hard, so I can relate to this. Good write.

The sense of pathos comes out very beautifully and more importantly the innocence in feelings is what makes the poem even more beautiful.

a poignant memory/ an excellent poem! ! !

Swimming in the sea of sadness yet with beautiful billows!

May your Home be really bright with brilliant, blissful, heavenly light. (Amen) A beautiful prayer and a great tribute to your father! ! !
