Father Of My Child. Poem by sekharan pookkat

From dawn to dusk
Many faces
Passed through
My mind

I recognize
his love and care
now again
And put
him on my lap
And hold
his head in my arms
Pressed him
Towards my breast
Patted on his hip
and murmured
in his ear
Father of my child
you are!
I ignored you
in my youth
And cared you not
But I
Attend you
only because of
Father of my child.

From dawn to dusk
Many faces
Passes through
My mind!

Some residue
Some precipitate
And others
Disappear
without making
reflections in mind.

Some hurts
Some appreciates
And other blames.
But I know
you will not blame me.
When I am away from you
you cared me
and always lifted me
from mud I fell
because of
the truth you recognized
you were
the father of my child.
Others burnt
from my mind
Like fire flies
attracted on fire.
