POETRY CORNER : DEAR DAD

POETRY CORNER : DEAR DAD

Just like the bloom of mushrooms on a lush land ,
Your love has made me bloom to what I am today. 

You are a man of virtue and kindness.
It takes enormous heat for a diamond to shine, 
But the only heat you blew into my life is genuine love and care.
Even if you always wake up before the break of dawn , Please always know that you are my morning star. 
You shine through my path even when darkness threatens to swallow me. 
Your guidance and wise counsel  blows me out of trouble when I'm sandwiched by problems.
You are a man of virtue and Understanding, 
Just like trees waving softly during the blow of winter winds. 
Your love always waves through my heart .
I know that I might not tell you this everyday,
but you hold a special place of residence in my heart .
You are like a rainbow in my life ,
All you bring are shades of kindness and love .
Just like rising dust in a desert,
My love for you always rises when you sacrifice for the family.
You are like a grey cloud which rains with soft love.
