To My Parents Poem by Santanu Banerjee

Like roots that hold a tree firm in the ground,
You steadied me against life's stormy winds.
Your words, like gentle rivers, soft and sound,
Carved paths of wisdom deep where love begins.

As stars that light the sky with steady glow,
You shone upon my darkest, doubtful days.
Through tempests, like a lighthouse in the flow,
You led me homeward, safe in loving ways.

Your hands, like tender branches of a vine,
Have shaped my soul, with patience, care, and grace.
And in my heart, your lessons intertwine,
A guiding compass time cannot erase.

So here, with humble thanks, I honor you—
For all I am, I owe to love so true.
