My Father

Rating: 4.8


Elegant smile and a benign look,
I feel the power of his love,
with sane words of knowledge,
sitting in the ancestral house
tackles the enigma of my life,
makes both ends meet,
from within the spiritual source
outstretching wings of peace,
he seeps
into the petals of darkness,
it remains as endless memories,
I recollect him from my childhood,
the brook is flowing still
mirroring the gleaming the starry nights,
though my father was laid to rest
in the graveyard near the Mosque,
get on like a house on fire
and trip down memory lane
still.

My Father

I like this word picture very much - the stillness at sunset. 'The unhesitant birds' brings back memories of darting swallows flying home in the glare of an Indian sunset.

Elegant smile and a benign look of your father motivates us to lead life in a positive way and you feel the power of his love. You gain knowledge from your father. In the darkness father shows us light and through endless memories we find peaceful path. This is a nice tribute poem to a father from a son. God is our greatest father and he bestows us eternal peace and bliss! This is a great work of course! ...10
