Silent tears of my dad
Flawless pious radiance on your face
Remind me of those days when you used to laugh
Whilst during the journey of your karma
I sit by your bed, watching the pure soul god blessed me as my father
Those were the days when my tiny body used to dance in your lap
Those were the days when my small feet learned how to walk from your hand
Every time i recall my childhood memoirs, a big beam comes on my face
Youth arrived on my door, childhood seemed to fade
A mature young girl and words of ethics, integrity was
Given to my mind and heart
We listened to you, we abided by you, we disobeyed you,
But your love, your insight stayed with us
Each one blundered in life but my dad you have no error in my eyes
You showered smile and hilarity to whomever walked into your life
My father, my innocent father, the dearest father of mine
You are wrapped in cotton wool
All your children, every single one, was shielded under the umbrella of your love
Then why did the world beleaguer you, torment you
Why is the world so callous to such a pure soul like yours
The tiny little voice in your heart is weeping
Even though i still see a smile on your face, divine light is
Shimmering
Today it is my turn to bring you back to my world
Today is my duty to teach you how to walk, how to crawl
Today it is my turn to clean your silent tears
Today is my turn to shut the door of cruel friends and foes
My dad, my loving dad don’t be sad, this world is gone mad
You are leaving a legacy of love, of fatherhood
Those who cause pain in your life will be forgiven
Because you’re soul never seeked revenge
Your silent tears seek forgiveness
For all humans
