Daddy by Deepak Sarkar |
They chirp or call, but I hear Daddy,As they provide me with much needed companyAt home as pet or in the wild when walking or joggingSharing my joys, sorrows and agonies!They grow slowly observing meBut I hear silent whisper in the air, calling me DaddySome throughout the year, others seasonallyAs summer, fall, winter, and spring travels through the valley!They play in the forestAs they breed, eat, feed and mateTake a pause staring at me with unfurled eyesBut I hear Daddy in their barking, roaring or sigh!They swim in lakes, ponds, and oceansOccasionally come ashore with inquisitive passionRemind me evolutionary lost principlesBefore diving again saying Daddy in old fashion!They walk, talk, sing, shout like meAs family, community, in villages and countries!I see children living in harmony or agony!Some recognize me, pause in amazement ‘Daddy!’!I am without biological sons and daughtersBut together world made me a proud father!Making my heart bigger and bigger –Bringing out the best of human nature!©Deepak Sarkar (Dedicated to universal parenthood – Deepak Sarkar, www.kolki.com)
