Analysis of To my child

Tosher. 1994 (Brahmanbaria)



"To my child"

A mother is likely by born a mother,
but a father is not of that kind everywhere. Whether he's mad or a professional mind, this could be a rationale --
why the last Prophet (puh) uttered 3 time',
the mother's name ;
prior, heading towards the father's one.
Above of these kinds has already booked for the legend. So, I asked my child to name of a legend, the day before ascertained, till then I, Father remained.

Again, I put my soul to the solemn-eye
No late, eradicated, all at once found I;
the Father in me raised, chased by
the gene, had already died!
So, I asked my child to name of a legend, the day before ascertained, till then I, Father remained. Till then I, Father remained.

About this poem

About a Father who wants to go further from this paternal area and break that barrier by making himself as alegend instead of being Father; as he got worse experience in his era. So, every day he asked his son to name of a legend and thus waits for his name...
