MIS YOU DAD……

-

Days are passing into years
I remember you in silent tears

You never gave me a word of assurance
You never made any big promise
But the mere presence of you
Use to give me immense solace

How can I forget all those times?
You were there for me…
As undisclosed confidence

The cup of tea you use to prepare for me
During my early morning exam times
Taking time to drop me at my college
Changing your route to office

How can I forget all those times?

How glad we were to compare
The two doctorate degrees….
Yours and mine
On the day of my convocation

How can I forget all those times?
You were there for me….
As unconditional buttress

The number of temples you took me
When I was not well
The best doctor you found at
When my problem was resurfacing

Most important of all these things
You taught me...the lesson of my life

You taught me the thing called TRUST
You taught me the thing called FAITH
You are the one who guided me to God

Though you left me in between
You gave me the path to follow
Though you are not there with me today
You gave me the reason to live

I know it’s foolish trying to express
Because you are beyond all worldly things ….
Because you have become mortal to immortal!!

Oh my..how strange to find a post dedicated to father (or fother) as I call him in the same week that I posted one!
Your poem and your thoughts are lovely...sweet.
Read mine, I think you will find consonance: "To my fOther..."

A beautiful tribute...your missing is apparent in every line. That missing never really goes away (my father passed in 1998)...but their lessons remain and their love.

It sounds like he taught you all the things you need to get through life, and prepared you well. You must miss him. I'll bet he is still watching over you.

Friends are like memories

Friends are like memories Some good… some bad Some sweet…   some mad True you can choose them But it’s they who decide…. to stay or leave Friendships are like cyclic process You meet …you mingle You treat…you part No one is permanent No one is life long They keep coming and going Some come for a season Some come with a reason Remember…they are like memories In fact …with time, friends become memories You evolve… Your thought evolve… Your memories evolve Bad may become good Good may be become bad…. Seasons do change…reasons may differ Remember… Friends are friends forever Friends remain in memories forever For Poets United Poetry Pantry #293

Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din?????

-
Mukesh is my favorite singer. And when I am young….specially during teenage days I use to madly listen to his songs. There is a kind of magic in his voice with inexplicable sadness…. That use to take me altogether to a different world. There are n numbers of Mukesh songs….which I know by heart and can sing along! But this one is like the ultimate…..Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din! Whenever I listen… there will be definitely tears in my eyes…. by the time the song is complete! The voice, the lyrics and the music….no match at all! And today I don’t know why? after long... long... time I just felt like listening to it! All those …who are sensitive at heart can listen and enjoy! Kyonki…. ”Baadhe saukyamane bhaavana raanevoy! AA yeruke nischalaanandamoy…Brahamaanandamoy”! Learn Telugu if you want to follow it!
