Father! (a poem I wrote today on fathers day)

Father!

I wonder what skin a father is made of!

Being a pampered daughter of my cute & double xl size father........
I interfere in what he wears,
I interfere in what he says,
I interfere in what he eats,
I object when he suggests,
I yell when I think he does mistakes.....
I get angry with him when I hear -he smoked or even when I get some lil complain from my mom.
He on the other hand, calms me down, says sorry even where he knows he is not at all wrong,
And NEVER reminds me that he has seen more........knows more.........and moreover, has taught me most of what I know today.

I wonder what skin a father is made of!

Father is who spends all his life in working for our needs, lives as if he never had any dreams for himself and goes all the way out for us......
Father is who forgets his health and dedicatedly works towards all our luxuries as his responsibilities and still never complains like us........

I wonder what skin a father is made of!

Words are not enough,
Any gestures are not enough,
Any gifts are not enough.....
To express the thoughts a daughter has for her father.

I am sure almost every daughter is soooo proud of her father,
And we all always wonder that what skin a father is made of !

  1. Very touching Gunjan!! Brings back lots of memories of my dad. Loved the opening phrase too "...my cute & double xl size father..."coz my dad looked like that too and he surely pampered me a lot :-) Miss you papa!!
