To pick her up from school
he skipped a lunch for his munchkin.
Back pain he suffered, struggled a smooth glide,
yet never refused to lend her an amusing horse ride.
When burnt was the roti, oversalted went the curry,
she was still lauded and the meal got devoured in a hurry.
He bustled the whole day,
but, never forgot a birthday.
He said 'yes',
when her plea got totally rejected with a 'no'.
Too silly were his jokes,
but, enough to stop the crying.
She failed a hundred times
but, was forever encouraged to keep the trying.
In the world of miseries and heartbreaks,
when things went hard on her part,
it was her 'father', who knew it well,
'how not to break a heart' .
