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
