Why your Dad waits for you, My Daughter?

by Dr. Ratan Bhattacharjee



My daughter, how shall I tell you the truth It is really very tough to be an ideal dad When you were a wonder kid with all your talents And I could not make you either happy or glad You waited long for my coming and never you did fight You used to go to bed on time after studies each night You never asked me for toys or clothes, you were such a child! You made my anger frozen and you made my wildness mild. I want from you nothing now, but your lips in smile drest It made me happy and proud to see your gallant crest. You are the heaven sent Nature’s gentlest boon When you are happy I see a full silvery moon Sometimes I sit alone and think of the entangled world You relieved the burden by dissolving it into a smile unfurled. In the morning you greet me, and want to know if I am happy or sad I know all you do and at night you tell, I am going to sleep my dad. The night seems so long, I see silent trees and the intruding sky The stars glitter far away, I could not say, bye Booni bye. I don’t know why, why my eyes moisten with tear Memories of your childhood and youth appear. All night I hear voices whispering dark on the seashore I feel I have lost a precious pearl, though I weep no more. I wait all hours wide awake, with vain delight I wait for your message to come, all day and night.
