- Father
- (Dedicated to all the fathers)
-
- In the glorification of a mother
- Fatherhood has become silent
- Somewhere among the noise and doubt
- There is a good father
-
- He brings his best to the table
- He sings the only song he knows and the child becomes quite
- Quickly he takes the place of a mother when she is gone
- He refuses a lover and the children remembers their buried mother
-
- ‘This and that’ and his day set in trying to please the little ones
- Yet he closes his eyes knowing that his best is not enough
- He has never waited for his share of love and reward
- He never thought he needed one!
-
- Middle of the night he reasons with God choking in sorrow
- Somewhere in the last pew his tears remain stained for a long time
- No one may ever know his brokenness and fear
- But his prayer is undefeated and desperate!
-
- A wife without a husband becomes lonely
- A child without a father seldom sings
- ‘Father’ a call synonym to courage, protection, sacrifice and love
- He earns, he feeds, he clothes and he lullabies!
-
- His love is so silent yet so strong
- His presence lightens the darkest corner
- The first hero of a daughter
- The first teacher to a son
- Life becomes complete in the care of a Godly father!
- Father!
