Real Fighter

Here is a poem I wrote for my father some time back. It's dedicated to him.

Here's a story of a man so strong,
I know he is not wrong.
He struggled through the life alone,
To secure a life for three who are his own.

A sweet kid was born to a couple as their youngest child,
They loved him, they adored him,
They scolded him, they taught him,
He respected them, he liked him.

When adolescence knocked at his door,
he was full of surprises for all.
His talents awestruck everyone,
not to be bowed down by circumstances-he is the one.

He got off to get a job,
From then on he struggled a lot.
He lost his dearest mentor
To the God in whom he believed
"Had I been there I would have puffed my last breath into him to make him live again"- by the man for the man he respected.

He got married to a girl,
Together they crossed all hurdles.
She was his charm, he was her love.
Together they bred two beautiful daughters.
The four were a happy family,
Love binding them till eternity.

The man worked day and night,
hiding his grief all his life.
Just happy for one reason,
There are three back home that love him the most.
He worked for them, he cared for them.
He cried for them, he laughed for them.
They respected him, they adored him.
They trusted him, they awed him.

The man curbed his desires for them,
Fulfilling their wishes before thinking about self.
He is the sun, he is the moon,
He is the flower, he is the bloom,
He is the rainbow, he is the cloud,
He is the God for the three.

Still remembering those threatening days,
When life and death stood in his way,
Sends a chill down my spine,
But he fought with all his might,
keeping his spirits high.
He stood out victorious in the battle called Life.

He is my friend, he is my guide.
He is the beacon of my life.
I love him for his virtues,
I adore him for his flaws,
I like his teachings,
I amaze his scoldings.
He is my dawn, he is my repose.
He is the one I am made up of.

He is the best son, He is the best brother,
He is the best husband, He is the best father.
All the feelings and emotions synchronized into one person alone.
He is the best human ever created by the Almighty,
And today I celebrate his being in my life,
because he is my life
All My Wishes to the real Life Protagonist - MY DAD !!!
