Father- A Daughter's Last Word of Hope

By Nisha Sainath

A man who soaks me in love

A man who treats me better than how I treat myself

A man who holds me within his arms through thick and thin

A man who steals my heart with his outpouring affection

A man who gives life to my shattered desires

A man who is seen as a prodigious peril of my pain

A lord who turns my depression into delectation

A man who always lends his ears and shoulders to me

A man who inculcates the spark of spirit in me

A man who built me with his blood and sweat

A man who raised me to be the kindest version of myself

A man who goes an extra mile for my smile

A man who taught me that the greatest luxury lies in priceless bonds

A man who has redefined my perception of hardship

A man who is an epitome of sacrifice

A man who snitches my respect through his actions

A man who hides his woes through a mellowing smile

An exuberant man who spreads bouts of laughter in the family

A man who aspires to create ebullience

A man who provides us with a lion's share of memories to relish

A man whom I live for
