Analysis of A Father



A father is the one who always makes you smile
To provide you best he goes through many trials

With less salary he manages to bring you a toy
No  matter  how  much  you make  him  annoy

The one who works hard from morning to night
To save you from harsh world, every trouble he hides

He tries to make you educate in best  schools
After getting educated, you think him of fool

The  house  to which  blood  he devoted
The same house makes him feel outvoted

There is  no room for a  poor creature
Alas! he is forced to be a floor sleeper

The place which once a storehouse of joy
Is now as haunted as to make him destroy

In the end, he accompanies with sighs
With tears in wrinkled eyes, he finally dies
