My Dad

My Dad!

You made me face the world when my mom was so possessive,
You stood strong when I went to my hostel with my eyes wet and red.
But, I know you could not sleep for nights thinking of me.

You made me walk when I was so cozy sitting beside you,
When I was afraid of the dark nights, a hand so firm, held me
I know it was you dad, who kept me molding
The way I need to be.

Breaking the shackles I always wished to be like you,
I have seen you changing in the course of my life.
And now, I am seeing my footsteps falling on the same line.
I have never seen God.
But I believe it’s you.
Everywhere you were by my side.
That’s all I know.

You are everything to me,
I owe you my life.
My whole world squeezes in YOU!
Love you Dad!
