Like most would expect and express..
A girl's first hero and the savior. And themselves as their dad's angel.
Yes, we share the obvious conventional relation.
But the father that he is, is most astonishing for many and unacceptable for the rest.
The place I stand today is a comfortable one.
It's not because I have it cushioned by my parents,
but because my father taught me how to build myself that space.
It's not because he picked me when I fell,
it's because he let me fall only to rise stronger.
I stand to take on the world in its most cruel form,
because he's the person who stood for the right and empowered me to believe in right.
Having said so, it's that eccentric nature of his,
because he doesn't accept what one may say is right, but defines what is right to him.
He shunned away the chronicles that held base in the Orthodox system.
The unconventional father, whose love lies in his anger,
encouragement lies in silence
and constant support lies in critique.
Papa.. I may not say it but I owe who I am to you.
I may not express it but you are my hero.
I may not mention but I am proud of being called your daughter.
Because I wouldn't have deserved such an amazing father if I was asked to choose.
Thank you for who you are and what you do for us.
I'd rather prefer someone who corrects me and isolates me to face the world over a one who holds guard every minute.
Your love is beyond comparison.
We don't need words to describe us, just a heartfelt gratitude and a promise to make you proud every single day of my life.
Be rest assured because you taught me to never doubt and always 'believe'.
Happy birthday paaa.. love you :*
Happy birthday paaa.. love you :*

This is beautiful and actually bought a tear in my eye. The relationship and our father couldn't have been better described.
ReplyDeleteI reiterate, ur skill for writing is simply natural and amazing! Please continue writing...
Thank you dii.. I surely will :)
DeleteAn excellent dedication to a remarkable father in Shri. Lalit Bhatia, whom I hold in high esteem in my virtual world of friends! Your Dad has that special quality in him to spontaneously bond with everybody leaving no room for argument let alone anger :) :) But honestly, there can not be a more fitting *GIFT* a loving Daughter can give her *DAD* than this piece of loving anecdote! God Bless your Dad to have in him a loving and proud Daughter like you and of course, your Sister too {she might get annoyed with me otherwise :) :) } - God bless you Children!
