I Miss My Father
I was nine when my father
Passed away, I remember
When he was alive
He always kissed me
Every morning before
He went to his business work
He was the simple
And civilised man
Having the strict principles
I was a wayward child
In the sense of disobedient
Not listen to the parents
I often got warnings
But that did not work
I cried and cried for things
I beat my chest
I tore my new dresses
I broke house doors
Until I got what I wanted
I grew, with complicated feelings
Not having the father
I always sat alone in the room
Studying books, tried to write
Some lines, sentences
I did not play much outside
I mostly stayed at home
I missed my father, no one knew
My sensitiveness feels
The pain and grief of everyone
Until now, I bear everyone's pain
Now I am myself, father
But I still miss my father
That's why my heart showers love
For entire humanity.
