Appa..

Wrote this for my appa's 60th bday.. in 2006

Dear Appa..

This day when you turn six-zero,
We still regard you as our best hero
For the million battles for us you have won
though you maintain there were none

You are this river that endlessly flows
Enriching every life in its course;
With your wisdom, truth, love 
and care,
You taught us to live life 
full and fair

You toiled hard night and day,
To make our lives merry 
and gay
You have travelled many a path unknown
For our journeys not to slow down.

You were the shoulder we always turned to,
whenever life did what it was not supposed to
Thanks for being our pillar of support always
Though you have none but you to keep us at pace

You are more than simple and more than great
You have poise 
and style no one can imitate
A self made man you are, you are selfless 
Your life is with achievements countless

All of us are blessed in abundance
For life we have your presence
I am sure nobody will protest
If i say, "Dear Father, You are the Best"

  1. Lovely post and the best sign-off --- "tributeries". I specially liked the lines:

    You are this river that endlessly flows
    Enriching every life in its course;
    With your wisdom, truth, love and care,
    You taught us to live life full and fair

    I suppose for everyone their Father is the best!
