Dear Dad


A father is
Like that lonesome
 Tree on a
Smog-filled
 Twisted
 Street
 That
Shades you in
Hot summers,
Protects you
From sudden heavy
 Passing showers;
In winters,
From bitter winds
And harsh hail,
And,
In the multi-hued
 Spring season,
Showers you with
Scented flowers,
Transforming you
Into a magical figure,
Clad in pink-red petals;
And after death,
Lingers in your aching
Longing heart
Like a beautiful dream,
And
Irrigating the inner
Landscapes with
His gentle
Fragrant presence,
Not felt  by others.
