FATHER’S SHADOW

A mighty shadow is beside me,
Wherever I go,
It never departs me,
Since my birth, decades ago.

In the vista of my thought,
On the path of my choice,
It remains in my sight,
At all my ups and downs.

Through the book, I scan,
In the verse I pen,
And the art of mine,
It exists hiding.

In the lonely hours,
And the laughter and tears,
Being the invisible guide,
It stays by my side.
