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
