Father’s day

Father’s day

A poem by,

P.R.Ramachander

If there  is a day  for the elephant,

They  all say that  there would be one to the  mouse too,

And so since    there   is a mother’s day  ,

There should be one to the father too .

Mother carried us all  with  great suffering and  sweet dreams,

And she delivered us all  after   very great  pains,

It was she   who was   at  our bedside  all the time ,

When we   were  greatly sick and suffering,

It was the father   who  worked  hard and struggled ,

All the time  , so that   we eat what we like ,

So that   we  get educated   as per our dreams ,

And start the life  the way that   we want .

True   he shouted   at us when he was angry,

True   , he hugged us   when we were down,

True  he  loved  us as much as our Mamma ,

But he   never knew how  to show that he also  loved us .

Ler us not  make the father’s day  , a day  of  the  mouse ,

But  let us hug him  , spoil him   with what he wants,

And   tell him  that   we love  him  ,

As  much as we love ourselves  and our Mamma
