Fatheristic Poem by Javeria Aslam

O' father! To me you're such an inspiration,
Neither this a lie, nor an exaggeration!

O' father! You led me to the staircase of success,
Which no one but you could do I guess!

O' father! You unfolded the curtains of the world upon me,
So that I could walk in with credence and glee!

O' father! You made my sight strong,
To recognize the people who were wrong!

O' father! You protected me from those people,
Who were masked and evil!

O' father! You taught me all along the way,
Which is a remarkable thing I must say.

O' father! You provided me with books and knowledge,
Which inturn gave me wings, and I made it till college!

O' father! In the night of gloom, your appearance is like a full sparkling moon,
In the gentle light of which I can sleep till the next day's noon.

O' father! When the daytime has begun, you seem more like a glowing sun,
Whose light lits up around and makes my day full of joy and fun.

O' father! So this is what you are,
An example for all, a blessing for me, and a star from afar!
