Creative Poetry Forum father

OH! Father, you looked like a lion. And sang Telugu poems with great élan Condemning injustice was your nature You had an incomparable stature   You were good at Sanskrit literature You were endowed with wonderful physical feature You had a curly hair with a handsome race You retorted your opponents  at great pace   You were a king among the contemporaries And used to sing even among the little boys You lived a carefree life Your brain was as sharp as a knife   I am proud of your great honour And trying to carry your inimitable banner You were a connoisseur of art Music and literature were your inseparable part   You were so kind at heart We rarely find the man of your sort Your sudden demise was unredeemable loss Nearly 38 years did pass   I am a no match to you
