Happy Father's Day..

you were there from the beginning

you promised to be there till the end

you may not have been the closest

but you were my oldest friend.

you were there to feed me at midnight

you were there when i cried

to take me to parks and hold my hand

all the way through the rides.

i saw the world from atop your shoulders

and you never complained

you put up with all my demands

how much ever they sounded insane.

you were afraid and held my hand

when we were in a crowd

i am sorry if i have not been able to till now

but one day, dad,i promise i'll make you proud.

i never realised how lonely i am without you

that was until this very day

and with all these emotions flowing out of me

i wish you a very happy father's day.

PS: Dad, i hope this poem serves as the prelude to an apology of all the wrongs i have done so far.. :)
