My Father In Me Poem by Ravinder Kumar Soni

My father left me
I had no guide
I lost all things
Including my will
And urge to learn
Anew the words
That meant a lot
A world to me
I could not read
I could not write
I could not think
I could not sleep
My mind was like
Fully erased
I had no reason
To think and act
And no guilt
One day my son
Sat close to me
He said he saw
My father in me
And wanted me
To emulate him
These words dispelled
The grief I had
Due to my father's demise
