My Dad

The day I stepped into this world, Everyone was cheerful. But there was someone with a bright shine, And with proudness in his eyes, Said with a hopeful heart that “She is my sweet daughter who will make me proud” I still remember, it was my Superhero, My 'DAD'.
Crawling and Crawling on my knees, You were the one who held my lil’ fingers, To take those little steps. But there were you, Who gently held my sweet lil’ hands And said “My dear, the journey begins”. I still remember, it was my Superhero, My ‘DAD’.
When I was upset to move out, And to cross the threshold of the house, Everyone in their mind was having a doubt, But there was only you. Who fully had trust, and blind faith in me, And said with a confident attitude to me, “My dear, in your life you’ll always succeed”. I still remember, it was my Superhero, My ‘DAD’.
When I was broken and deflected, And was about to quit the struggle, There was only you who supported me. Boosted me with energy and confidence, And said “You can do it, my child”. I still remember, it was my Superhero, My ‘DAD’.
Today I’m nineteen Someday surely I’ll get my Prince, But there will be one person in my life, who’ll always be my King, And he is none other than you, My ‘DAD’.
You were always there for me, Whenever there was flood you protected me. Now, I promise a time will surely come, When all the efforts of mine, Will make you proud and happier than ever. And I pray to almighty that, “May my DAD stay with me forever”.
