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.

    Thank you Jane.. Though he is no more in this world, he would be happy in the heaven..

    As moving as your other poem ‘Dad in my Dreams’. Very touching.
