For My Father With All My Love

I guess its time to sing tribute to those unsung heros, the heros who taught us how to battle and win against life, the heros who gave us so much and never expected anything in return, the heros called FATHERS

Dear Father,

I don’t know how you felt when you first held me in your arms, a pink faced, wrinkled mass crying its lungs out, but I know you have loved me ever since.

I remember riding your strong, broad shoulders the winds in my hair during our walks together. I remember the dark stormy nights of summer when the rain splashed outside, the thunders raging furiously, the lightening flashing, you would tell me “Don’t worry precious the sky is just in the mood for some merriment.” I believed you then and till date whenever a storm rages I remember your words and smile.

You have taught me to take life one step at a time and to face whatever it offers with open arms. Most importantly you taught me that nothing can hurt me if I don’t let it affect me and if today I am a stronger person you must take credit for it and if I am not it’s not your fault.

There were times when things became difficult and I would cry my heart out, never ashamed to let people see my tears because you have told me that tears are not signs of weakness. You have always protected me from the harsh realities of life but also let me grow as my own person. When I was younger I would come home from school with torn uniforms and skinned knees yet you would never question me. You trusted me to do the right thing and still do.

You could never stop praising me, about how I was the brightest, the smartest and the loveliest at 13 that made me feel like I was the greatest creation of God, you still continue saying that but today with the wisdom that you have passed on to me I know I am no such thing, I am just your child and that is the best gift ever.

People say God could not be with every one so he created mothers but I think they are wrong, he created fathers too.

I am a grown person now but in your presence I still feel like that little child who could not wait to grow up. I just want to thank you for your unconditional love and your unquestioning trust, for all the beautiful moments you have given me but mostly for being my father and my best friend. Dad You Are My Hero.

Love You Always
