My son - my father

Son - a magical word

that always brings a smile

as it opens vaults of fond moments

which linger in my mind

Memories- only the happy kind

Keeps me warm through the winters

And makes the summers divine

Thoughts of you bring back the years

When you held my fingers

And we learnt to walk together

Of the dreams we shared on the terrace

with our secret talks

One moment you were my son

Next my bosom friend

Before I could bat an eyelid

Found you as my teacher

Guiding me through the paths of life

Help me cope with anger & strife

A son you remained for just a while

Then turned into a father

Charming with that naughty smile

May you remain so forever
