My father taught me this…
Lessons we learn…
alone when I go
I do not remain alone
I make friends new
i am never fully torn
there is hope dwelling
within every little scope
But he taught me new art
to talk to me when hurt
he said if you live alone
you will learn a lot more
a friend helps many
but you are unique
you need not be for much
with any
he said his whole life
he spent time with himself
more
he is away from thoughts
and flaws that world adores
I learnt the same
forgot my skill with any
I concentrated on self
not many
then I opened again
life’s door
I found myself
with reason
though worldly success
was less there
there was peace
there was growth
I was with hope still
I did it
i said to myself
but he will not forever be there
but he will leave me
rich
in me grown as
Every inch
he is my father
my dream will enrich
lessons we learn from fathers
are always right
though might not be of
interest to
many
***
part II
my father doesn’t value my values
said to me a strange young man
I said if he doesn’t value you
how would you survive health threats
there is someone near to you
someone so close
someone who let’s you free
when you are worn
there is someone who cares
for you
more than your riches
a father at home
keeps kids far from being
insane
a father doesn’t decorate the room
but your place is safe
for he works hard
to design your brain
a father doesn‘t give you
direct birth
but he in the side of your mother
was always there
in peace, in fire
in every little trial
your guidance was approved
when your father stood
close to your mother
he didn’t give birth
but he makes you grow
first 1 feet though
by mother alone
but next 5 feet
of you
your father grows
you don’t err
was never meet his demand
but you discuss out
you tell the truth
was all he thought
he grew you with your mother
which she couldn’t happily done alone
father doesn’t nurture
but nurture needs
father’s support
you climb high
reach rise so fly
you keep on running
you don’t just walk
your are at times
dancing and singing
this is you adored
by your father sure
that you wil be great
if taught the right
in life’s fold
you don’t alone
ever fall in ground
your father
is hurt
see his love
his role
in growing you correct
and bold
sacrificing his own dreams
he spends
to make you strong
to make someone from you
who is better still what he was
in youthful look
in you he smiles
he cries through you
who said father doesn’t
give birth
he grew another 5 feet
in you
you 6 feet tall
was only one foot big
your father spent his dreams
to buy comfort for you
who say’s father don‘t give birth
father is born
with you
for you
he celebrates each moment
of You
for him
you are not just you
but also he again
in his youthful look
but when you leave him alone
which one day
you will do
you cry little and forget
he misses happiness
forever from you
he forever forgets your sins
you see inadequancies in him too
fault, faulter many
now you don’t need him
below your modern roof
what will happen to him
you would never believe
till you see the same
Happening on you
this sorrow on his face
when you leave him
states he loved you too
he cared for you
he helped you fair
he is still in need of
more of you!
he is still in need
of more than you
in old age!
