Dad's Gift.

Written in an honour to my Appaji for a beautiful gift.

I find a treasure,
but not the key.
It's like familiar with me.
It filled with gems,
gold and all the precious.
Partially I can use it.
Since the day I find it.
I really enjoy it.

I don't know to treasure it.
Recklessly I use them,
to decorate a paper.
Still I keep it secrect.
Bcoz the fear of losing it.
I don't wanna loose it.
I'm so possesive of it,
as well I'm proud of having it.

I have a question,
as the years passed.
I find no reason,
to keep it secrect.
One day I gifted
a piece of treasure.
May be to one or two
later on years to four or five.

I keep on using it.
One day I find,
an ancient treasure.
Like I got in my childhood.
Now I know the truth.
Why I'm so familiar with it.
The key is in my 'Blood'.
My dad gifted this treasure.

Author's Note

I always wondered and questioned myself why I'm very familiar with words.?

I find the answer when I was in 2nd PUC.
One day I found my dad's unpublished poems. That's what I am today. Literature is in my blood.

enjoyed this poem, very well framed. there were a couple of grammatical mistakes like the spelling of secret which you probably did accidentally. overall, a really good poem!

[Prabha Salimath]

Thank you so much for the review and consider your suggestion.

[Angad Waraich]

Okay this piece is well thought of and the overall structure of this piece is good.
But it has a number of grammatical errors which are enough to pose problems, a little more time on this piece can do it good(No Offence).

All in all a nice write.

Thank you for sharing.
