Father

Dr Annie John



You had been a pillar of strength
A mighty rock in testing times
A soothing balm in painful moments

You had been a light house 
Protecting me in wreckful times
Guiding me in the right direction

You held me by little finger
And walked me along life's shore
Answering all my simple queries

I could look up to you always
For you had a solution to all my anxieties
Holding my hand you led me through life's tumultuous path

There was an aura about you
Which held me in awe
Your magical persona amazed me endless

Life has never been the same since you left
I long for you and the happy times
There is a vast expanse between us 
And till I get to the other shore
I know you are watching
And protecting me
Under your mighty wings.
