Dear Dad

by Dr. Sunil Sharma

A father is
Like that lonesome
Tree on a
Smog-filled
Twisted
Street
That
Shades you in
Hot summers,
Protects you
From sudden heavy
Passing showers;
In winters,
From bitter winds
And harsh hail,
And,
In the multi-hued
Spring season,
Showers you with
Scented flowers,
Transforming you
Into a magical figure,
Clad in pink-red petals;
And after death,
Lingers in your aching
Longing heart
Like a beautiful dream,
Irrigating the inner
Landscapes with
His gentle
Fragrant presence,
Not felt by others.
