Loss Of A Loving Father Poem by Umasree Raghunath

Years ago when you reached God
I have really gone mad
without you, I was alive
without you, thought I was alive
I never succeed in any deed
without your blessings beside
How much I owe you
What can I do other than
Weeping for you
You were just not my father
but my good friend and teacher
Sincere wish that you were alive
No single tear in my eye
till I bid you a farewell bye
Promises I made on you
responsibilities I will hold
on behalf of you
Let I prove true upon you
Riches that you never wishes
wealth that was never accumulated
But the lasting fragrances
of the graceful love
that you made us experience
Can never be measured in the
world with words
that makes me live still
bolder and brave
with care and courage
with determination
as well as disaster
with still some love to live
with your sincere blessings
with thanks, kisses, regards
and reverences that I hold
