Existence

Dad breathed his last in 2003. Somehow, I couldn't stop recollecting his memories today. This piece of love is entirely for him and his existence which will forever be.

Your existence is a must, O father!

None can your daughter trust, O father!

All my teen life,

I survived under your shelter

You left and O father

My life turned helter-skelter

Disorganized I be, with the lack of honesty

I lack the vision of wisdom,

Without you I grew throwing silent tantrum

I carried out our duties, O father,

But wish I could become you

Made innumerable blunders so far

Lord! Let me start anew

 All those men I met so far

Within them, I sought your perfection

Did I find? Oh No! I failed every time

To build the forever connection

With a shattered ego and heart,

I gaze at your legacy fallen apart

In your tough daughter, a weakling persists

O father! I wish in me you could exist!

This is a touching tribute to your father, and I felt your feelings in my heart. I've always wondered, when a writer can write a poem like this, maybe a part of ther person lives in in the writing. You bring the best parts of him from your memory into your current moment, and some part of him is created again.

I liked this poem, it really touched me, and I'm glad I found it tonight.

Neha.. one can weep reading this.
And that's true. Every girl tries to see a father image in her man.
But one fails.
If there is any who can love us without any expectations?
Then its our parents.
And Father plays important role in our upbringing.
May God bless you for this piece of writing.
