This poem is on my father. Written after he left me in alone in this world..

My Father – Paa – Appa

Several days have gone
Since I lost my father, 
The fate made that mistake
Should have taken my life rather.

Tears fill my nights
Before I go to sleep,
I pretend to smile in the lights
But, within myself I weep.

‘Don’t cry  my dear son’
Who is there to tell?
I cant see you my father
If I go to the hell…

    I am sure your Dad is ever so proud of you and it so rewarding to read a lovely poem that expresses your love for him.

    I still remember vividly the night I lost my father when I was a teenager. That love never goes away. A great piece.

    I can very much relate to you about this experience with the feelings and emotions involved. I bet you have many qualities like him. He raised a child who became a genuine, kind and intelligent adult – you. This says a lot about the kind of father he was.

    Sorry about your dad, but nobody is alone in this world.
