Daddy

Daddy (Free Verse )

Listening to my cries and the wails,

A big smile crossed your handsome face.

I still remember climbing on your shoulders

And giggling with all those joys,

I felt so high and saw the world under my eyes.

I loved your strong broad shoulders, Dad

Today, there is no one here to hold my hands,

Nobody to call a Dad

And I cannot see the world under my eyes now.

I could just see some other father daughter time going on,

I stare at them like anything,

They stare back at me and mumble some words

But behind them

I could picture you.

Then you fade away in the thin air,

Without saying goodbye,

And I cry like crazy

It was very hard on me.

I just hope that we meet one day,

In the bright sunny day,

Like nothing has changed

And giving a high five!

I miss you Dad

Daughter (Pema Lhamo)
