Very Often My Father Poem by Gajanan Mishra

Very often my father
was telling me
To write poems
And be a poet
And live like a poet.
The reason is that
Poet is far ahead
Of any king or emperor.
Very often my father
Was telling me
Poets can reach
That places
Where the sun cann't.
Poets know the love
And go on searching
The truth.
Poets know the value of
Humanity and life.
Poets know the true
Relations that are there
In between the sky
And the earth.
Today I understand
My father is right
And that's why
I am telling evryone here
To be a poet
At least for a day
And have a taste
Of love and life.
