Father

As I rode in the turbulent

waves of emotions,
I found anchor in you;


As I dropped down into the falls
of uncertainties,
It was you who held me safe and secure;


As I struggled to understand the
philosophies of life,
It was you who simplified them for me!


As demons of self-doubt started
to flourish in me,
It was you who drove them away;


As I faltered and fumbled along
life's difficult paths,
It was you who gave me a helping hand;


As unanswered questions and
mysteries shrouded me,
It was you who lighted the lamp of wisdom


As life took away from me, my
dreams and aspirations,
It was you who held me together.


As everything turned bleak & grey
and drowned me,
It was you who lifted me up to the lights...


O! Father of  mine, what would my
life be  worth;
If you didn't show me the right path!


You have been the pillar of my strength,
the anchor of my ship,
My light in the darkness;


Dear Father, life would not be
worth living at all,
Had it not been as your daughter!!!
