My Papa


How can I ever forget 

Those walks on Ridge Road

Where you would teach me

Maths and physics 

Walking uphill

As the evening lights glowed


How can I ever forget
That after a rigorous office routine

You would come home

With comics and books

To see our eyes gleam


How can I ever forget
Your determition to help us

In pursuing the subjects of our interest


You made it a point

To be on our side

As we matured

And became independent


To guide us all through

You have always been our ideal

Your patient yet intelligent approach

Has inspired us all the way


By imbibing your spiritual qualities

We have succeeded in keeping

The worst of our worries at bay.
