Smile Is The Name Of The Man! Love You Dad! Poem by Umasree Raghunath

Smile is the name of the man

Who made us his life's ever green




Held our hands as we learnt to walk


Smiled at every word as we learned to talk




Giggled us all over to see us smile


Ran behind us in our every small mile




Endearingly spent all his precious time


To cheer us, support us and love us




As a Dad, he gave us all his love


Walked beside us every day then and now




As one winter morning snatched him away


Brutally spoiling our nest's happy days




He still smiled on us from the sky above


Showing us his blessings and love




One Star followed us everywhere we go


Spreading his divine will with glow




I can see his smiles running behind us


As we take every step towards his dreams




The dreams that he dreamt for us


The dreams that would not let us sleep




Love you Dad, always in our hearts


You will live with eternal peace within us




Never missed you Dad, for you blessed


All the time in all our ups and downs to rise




Truly and endearingly guiding us


With your divine will and grace!
