Dear Dad
Don’t love me beyond limits, dear dad,
For leaving you some day might become really sad.
The way you kiss my forehead every time,
May it never wrinkle with my frown any time.
Whenever I cry from dismay or ache,
You’re always there to wipe my tears after heart break.
Don’t send me to a land that’s far away,
So when I cry you’re nowhere near the doorway.
You’ve always fulfilled each and every desire,
And provided me with all that I require.
With all that I’ve demanded when I’m awake,
You’ve always granted me with whatever it takes.
What if tomorrow in an unknown place,
I miss you and crave your embrace.
What if I cry and to God I plead,
To bestow me with someone who is as loving as you indeed.
The one who is there for me always,
The one who never fails to praise.
Today, promise me, my dad,
That you’ll always keep me hidden from the bad.
From the evil eyes of this world,
I want to stay hidden and curled.
