Don't need words ....

I remember, i topped the school,

Mom had a happiness attack....

She distributed sweets and snack,

You just gently patted my back ..

I remember, my leg was mildly bruised,

This time mom had a panic attack ..

She quickly rushed to get the dressing sack,

You smiled and pulled me back on track..

I remember, my first day in hostel,

Mom's eyes flooded while bidding me goodbye...

You didn't see me eye to eye ,

And tried acting like a tough guy ....

I remember,my home coming from hostel,

Mom hugged me and used to weep...

And served me paranthas in heap...

You only kissed me while i was asleep....

I remember, me crying due to occasional minor pains,

Mom groaning due to swelling in vertebre veins ...

Brother often exhausted with his sales campaigns ,

You consistently punched insulin without any complaints ..

I remember , countless such instances ,

When everybody exercised their freedom of thought ..

And your response was not more than a dot ,

But believe me dad , to me it meant a lot ..

I hope u remember, any of those nights ,

When u were dead tired that u slept with shoe..

Only then i hugged you like a kangaroo.......

Dad, after all i have inherited a lot from you.. :)

I Know , we both don’t need words ,

We can comfortably communicate like birds .....
