How much safe I was in his strong fold?
How much I was injected with ideas to be brave and bold?
It may be true with all girls under parenthood
Not immediately but later on it is clearly understood
It was not to be just blood relation and small entity?
What difference had it made on our fine quality?
Every child may mushroom with protective custody?
Parents may have all the options open with remedy
To grow the child under care and make steady
To stand on own feet and keep all the time ready
I was papa’s girl and loved by all
Everything was made available at little call
All preventive care to remove the possible fall
Developing the skill to scale the wall
He was towering strength and cared well
No on dared to bother us or create hell
Luck would not have it all to tell
I am in tears and compelled not to dwell
I fared well to stand first in all the competitions
Though we did not believe in any superstitions
Father was himself big institutions
And we were brought up in critical situation
I do not remember exactly what went wrong
He was no more and did not remain among
We were reduced to some sort of helplessness
There was no one in family for energy to harness
We crossed the shore and returned to safety
We had vast horizon with different variety
It was all before us just in grabbing distance
We were all prepared for it at once
Though father did not take me further
He did not leave behind any responsibility to shoulder
He knew the catastrophically prevalent situation of future
He had made it full proof and doubly assured
What bothered me most was the way he offered?
He never scolded me, thrashed or differed
He was so thorough affectionate and loving
Even today my eyes become wet and not believing
Complete picture moves with so much happening around
I had totally surrendered when I had found him
What a way of taking refuge in somebody’s arm?
With so much affection and lovely unforgettable charm
Not all may be lucky but I do consider
So much water has flown since under
The lightening may strike and clouds thunder
I sit under the sky and definitely wonder
