Dad's Rose
Alluring rose,
Lost some petals,
Little withered,
But still whiffing her odor
All he said to her,
That one day she will bloom,
For thorns are all she needs,
For it’s in her stars,
To be a lover’s delight
To be a wedding’s wreath,
To be last gift of a living to dead
Alluring rose,
Lost some petals,
And he stayed there,
She needed him but water and sun
For gems of purest rays serene,
She is born to blush unseen,
She will
She will be a delight
And all then a father will do,
Is seeing her off from aisle with smile….
