My happy earth: Tribute to a father

By Nitesh Tewari 

In “the path” you showed
For the belief you “sowed”
Towards the “goals” so high
“You” have taught me to touch the sky

Yes, the trust that “you” are there
With all “your” worries and utmost care
And to protect “me” always
From the known and unknown walkways

Yet “you” gave me wings to fly
To see the world and call it “my”
The adorable “zeal” to rise from the dark
It’s not just love but the eternity of “your” spark

Even if “I” say a million words today
It won’t be enough to express what “my” soul pray
The only wish which resonates in “my” breath
“You” stay smiling to make it a “happy earth”
