An Ode to Dad 🪔

🌟 An Ode to My Dad 🌟


*Dear Dad, with intense love and faith 

Back home, do you I summon 

Come and catch a glimpse of 

Your little girl grown into a woman


*A MasterChef, I'm called 

But all the culinary skill is waste 

What's the use of it , Dear Dad

When even a morsel from my hand, YOU can't taste 


*For functions and grand occasions

Now I wear a saree

But what value holds any compliment

When YOU don't see the look I carry 


*PhD scholar, I am 

Creating a thesis worth a doctoral 

But on many lonly nights, I grapple alone without guidance 

Without OUR deep talks, habitually nocturnal 


*Books, poems, music, photo edits

Art of all kinds I still explore

But whom should I share my ideas with 

Without YOU around, my Creative Side gets less adore



*A smartphone now I have 

With all social networking sites

But I keeping thinking how it would be

To exchange with YOU all the jokes, edits, comments or likes 


*Slightly extroverted am I now

Taking deep interest in each festive celebration

But I feel a gaping void every time 

That YOU aren't around to see my tasteful decoration 


*You are missed a lot, Dear Dad 

So far, yet I feel you near 

With your memories of you, your ideals and principles 

Which I will always hold dear 


*Be it any situation

How much ever troublesome

I just need to remember you

To feel the warmth of your blessings wholesome


 *Any tight spot

When my vision gets blurred

In my mind, it flashes  

Your timely wise word


*Amist the tide of degenerate modernity 

When overwhelmed with scruples

As a guiding light and boundaries

Come handy your principles 


*Dear Dad, with my heart full of your memories, I promise to honour

Everything You had imbibed when I was a bud 

And without even a thought of overstepping the line 

To always uphold the honour of your blood
