Ask me to tell how it feels,
As dusky mountains--
please the eye,
Like scenes in some enchanted isle
When I was born, you were here
In your eye, I saw tears
What more?! I saw care
Time speeds and already I'm grown
See, Father, I fit in your shoes
How it feels to have you behind my back
Even you leading the steps I take
Hollow and blunt,
when my universe was around my toys,
When my life was full of colours ,
when sorrows never knocked my door,
And my friends were the seekers I stalk...
You would tell me — thread gently...
For twenty kids shan't play for twenty years!
So memory will hallow all
With its careless,
Thoughtless air,
That Wants the training hand of care,
As you were always my pillar when I knew I'd fall,
And you are my sole anchor piercing strong and tall.
Your strong face changes only for me.
Your softer side, so careless and free.
Your soaring voice straightens my bending lines
As your fearsome sight break-ens my bonded lines
After indefinite hours of roam,
Silently and stealthily --
Entering our homes,
Your scolding brings on us large loom...
You thought me to be a man
You thought me to not to be distracted, I wouldn't be!
You said to decide with the heart and reason with the mind
You thought me to live happily
You thought me to fight fearlessly
You thought me to love endlessly
Do not forget —you would say!...
You are old enough to die—
The moment you dared to take a breath!
A word is enough...
You are a hero dad! My hero.
