The man whom I admire the most,
He’s none other than my Dad,
And haven’t found anyone so wise,
To match his kindness and wisdom.

The man who believed in me,
Cheered me up when no one did
And made me the person I am today,
Dad, I feel blessed by your presence.

The man who worked hard,
Day and night without complaining,
Dad showed up every single day,
Even when it was raining.

The man who poured
A lot of confidence in me,
And always made sure that I
Took the chances when I feared.

Dad made me feel safe,
Addressed all my concerns,
Gave me the strength to fight
For my rights and values.

The man who treated me like
The best girl on this planet,
He made sure that my needs
Was always met on time.

I think of Dad when I feel
Trapped at the crossroads of my life,
Wouldn’t have dared to walk along
The road less travelled.

He can foresee what I might not
See in a thousand years,
His advice saved me from
Uncountable pitfalls on my way.

I pray for Dad's long life,
A life filled with divine light,
Transcending earthly beliefs
By transforming a million lives.

Like the fragrance from flowers,
Planted on the most fertile soil,
May his wisdom reach far and wide,
By touching a million lives.

#582 One such day

One such day

It was one such day today,
My body felt heavier than usual,
Stuck to the bed as if lifeless,
When the alarm rang.

 

My morning starts at 6am,
That’s when I leave my bed,
To kickstart my day with,
Completing preplanned lessons.

 

But today was different,
Even though I was wide awake,
When the alarm rang but just
Laid still staring at the roof.

 

I was blank and numb,
A flood of tears came rolling down,
No, I wasn’t emotional or
Overwhelmed by any thoughts.

 

How some days feel so different,
Different in a way that our hearts feel,
They are like distant stars,
Unable to get a hold of them.

 

Generally, I’m a happy woman,
Always stay engaged as much as I can,
With many hobbies that have filled up
My soul more than anyone ever can.

 

I neither pushed myself to be normal,
Nor tried to investigate the reasons,
All I knew was that I wasn’t emotional
Just waited for that flood to calm down.

 

I am alone in the moment inside
A four-walled room, not looking for
Anyone to comfort me in any form,
Writing this poetry as its outcome.

 

I understand that my soul wants to cleanse,
Getting rid of suppressed emotions,
I just have to be kind and forgiving,
To listen to the unanswered expressions.

 

I have to learn to live with,
The learnings that I receive each day,
That’s how they come to me
As reflections in the end.

 

Now, that the tears have dried and
Letting my fingers what they wanted to type,
I am regaining the former me ;
Not at once but slowly and steadily.

 

It was one such day,
Stirring me up from within,
When I need not be crazy about,
Completing the big puzzle.
