Dad, we loved and trusted you to be around all through <br />But you maimed and left us all alone early, bidding adieu <br />Our hearts have become cold like stone <br />Can’t believe you’re gone <br />Not feeling the warmth of emotions washing ashore <br />Hate the voices saying our dear dad’s no more <br />It all seems like a nightmare <br />That will vanish once our eyes open up into thin air <br />Everything seems so unfinished <br />Hopes and dreams yet to be garnished <br />The fairy-tale that we had weaved together <br />Now just remains a blather <br />Our empty souls screech in pain <br />As their life has been callously drained <br />Anguished and startled at His plans arcane <br />The void left by you will always remain <br />Your love and laughter filled our lives <br />Now bleeding each moment pierced by your dearth’s spikes <br />You would never stand in our eyes any tears <br />Now you are gone, they are flooded with bloody smears <br />Miss that blessed touch of yours on our beings <br />Will always keep longing for your warm embrace and hallowed love tidings <br />Gone away to the farthest of lands <br />O His beloved child! rejoicing in the heavenly sands <br />Your children yearn to rest in your loving lap <br />But contented as you lay in peace with a soulful epitaph <br />Not a thing in the world is as dear <br />Oh dad, just that which brings you cheer <br />For ages you had endured for our sake suffering and pain, asking nothing in return <br />Now it’s our turn to burn the oil for your sojourn <br />Leaving our mom alone to meet your mom you are gone <br />Parting from your children, dad, to your dad you are gone <br />You were our guiding light <br />That shall still burn bright <br />From you we have life’s lessons imbibed <br />You shall forever remain our pride <br /> <br /> <br />Love U Baba<br /><br />Hina Firdose<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/daddy-dearest-6/
