My
Father is my role-model.
When
he’s there, ALL IS WELL!
He
motivates me- I can achieve what I want-
As
“I can” & there’s no place for “I can’t”!
"Be
positive and be happy" is his blessing.
He
treats me like his Princess & he’s King!
He
has told stories, taught Maths & sown knowledge seeds…
Even
on hot/cold/stormy nights he has attended to my needs.
Got important items like brushes/chart-papers,
So
that the next day I could paint & fill colors…
He’s
the one who paints rainbows in my sky…
Papa
has kept me grounded while I soar & fly!
Though he recently
became a senior-citizen,
For his CA-profession
& firm, he still exudes passion.
A wizard
with numbers, his brain is like a computer,He makes no errors spotting errors- he’s a great auditor!
No retirement or rest
for my Dad…
Work is worship &
dedication makes him glad.
Much in demand with
the local News-Channels,
With his candid views
& talks, prime-time sells!
In many institutions, Papa is invited to
give talks,
He encourages everyone to think as if there
is no box.
He means every word that he advises in his
speeches.
I love the way he practices what he
preaches…
Papa says –“Study for Knowledge, not for
Marks”
Good habits- no wasting a grain & eating
without fuss.
Learning by example, I polish off any
edible fare!
I earn admiring glances & compliments
rare!
Thanks to his sincere usage, I got to see
Many nouns & adjectives are verbs
actually…
Gratitude, Honesty & Integrity, Kindness,
Hardwork, Punctuality, Discipline, Goodness…
Papa upholds the Never-Say-Die Spirit,
He’s a bundle of energy, positivity &
wit.
He is a walking-talking encyclopaedia & inspiration.
He is a cool role-model for every generation.
He exudes warmth & shares the right judgments.
Papa is a strong proponent of Dr. Kent’s poem-‘ANYWAY’-
He always does good & takes the right, fair & just way...

ReplyDeleteThanks Kiran!
DeleteThat's great to learn;) Same pinch!
My Papa my hero too and it's primarily one reason I still don't feel so secure with my husband still. Sounds mean na...but it is the truth. Long ago I wrote a post on him too...which looks like an epic to be a blogpost, titled ' The Constant Teacher' . I had just seen that beautiful movie ' The Constant Gardner' so I kindo copied my title from the movie. Now reading ur poetry I hear the same refrains. Even now all my major learning be it spirituality, politics, science, literature or life...comes from him...
ReplyDeleteHope u can...nah I know u will understand that...that it's just not one blind adoration that one daughter has for her father but some fathers are just like that. :) again with you in this totally wholly and with all my heart. You and I and all the rest r very blessed to have Papa. :) :) :)
Thanks for sharing such lovely words here, Shivani :)
DeleteI can identify with how you feel about your Papa :)
We are truly blessed. Touch-wood! May everyone in the world have such sweet & nice Papas :)
Our fathers are always are role models...you have expressed it so well, Anita. This is the second time I am reading your post :)
