Father In A Frame-3rd June 2021 Poem by Bharati Nayak
Father In A Frame-3rd June 2021
Father!
You now sit
In your bedroom
Framed in a photo
With a garland around you
Whenever I visit Cuttack
And enter your bedroom
You smile your usual smile
And feel so happy to see me
As you used to be
three years back.
I can hear you call mother
And ask her to cook
Some delicious dishes
For your daughter
You show me the mango tree
With ripe mangoes hanging
Cut some guava of our garden
And take me to the lawn
With that pink rose bush at its edge
The fragrant Rajanigandha flowers nearby
And also show the cow and her calf in the shed
Show the coconut trees that were bearing fruits
You have been so proud of the richness
Of nature's gifts to you.
It is three years since you left us
But did you really leave?
No, I don't believe.
You show me the mango tree With ripe mangoes hanging Cut some guava of our garden And take me to the lawn With that pink rose bush at its edge
