Still a child for him..........

HOME
Today I am going home

To gather the leftover memories

Of my dad, in the house that he made

But could never stay in.

Today I am going to the same house

Where my dad was there to talk to

Where every small need or desire of mine

He would surely be there to cater to.

But today sans dad the home does not seem

The same as it always used to be.

The walls are the same, the stairs are the same

But there is no one to welcome me.

Today he is not there in person

To hug me or say I love you

But every inch closer to the place he stayed

Makes me feel he is always there where he stayed.

Life is not the same today

My family seems incomplete….

The excitement of going back home is no more there

For whom am I going to meet????

He would with his loving hands

Cook the delicacies I relish

And make sure I enjoyed every bite

Till the plate was finished

As I come closer to my home

My Home ceases to exist

Because the one who lived for all

Has left forever us all.

And as I say he has left us all

I can see him smile and talk

And feel his presence by my side

When I am off for an evening walk

It makes me feel and surely believe

That his body felt the need to leave

But he is always there with us….

And he will always be for us.
