My Hero

By Umara Shaikh

The salience of a mother is never denied,

More than a father I refuse to abide,

Though a strict exterior but an emotional heart inside,

Behind that dazzling beam a lot of distress hides...

Protecting his princess so the crown doesn't slip, No one can supplant the succouring hands

that he keeps,

Not a single behove he intends to skip,

In vitality, he endeavours, without a sound sleep...

Selflessly sedulous, for giving a better future, he tries,

The lonely walls witnessed the tormented cries, Frazzled yet tenacious till the last hope dies,

Though hitches made him a superhero, I surmise...

If God asked a father to make a wish that's wise, Anything would be granted though it be

malign or nice,

Without any further thought or moment of advice, Triumphantly replied, well-being of my

family will suffice!!
