Father Poem by Ruta Mohapatra
Father
I see him everyday
Hung on a wall, inside a frame
I see him everyday
I see him everywhere
In flowers, in stars, in children and old men
I see him everywhere
I miss him every hour
While talking, while joking, while reading and writing
I miss him every hour
I stopped fearing death
The day he bade goodbye and turned to burnt ashes
I stopped fearing death
I am moving towards the horizon
Where I see him walking away
Getting smaller and smaller each day
I see him everyday

Father, I see him everyday, and the last stanza shows the reality of all memories: Getting smaller and smaller everyday. Good one
