My Dad Poem by ratnaprabha raykar
My Dad
I searched in vain for pictures of my Dad
pictures large and small
pictures painted and sketched
pictures zoomed in and maximized
lacking the spirit he had
none showed him as he was
it made a dismal me
later, later, later
I found him painted in the hearts of people
He loved and was loved
etched in their memories
even after a decade
Ratnaprabha Raykar
What is painted in the hearts of people, is surely proved to be more permanent than a physical image. Me too, cannot, remove the image of your Dad, which is with me.
