Daddy Dearest :)

so its been a while since i've been in here.. but occasion calls.. :) this yr is a celebration for papa and herez one for him.. 

sixty welcomes you, take a seat

you walked all the way, such a wonderful feat *claps*

lemme tell you of what i know

in words few, nice n neat

late to bed, early to rise,

dad u've grown old n wise

its a celebration today, so we'll behave

pakka promise i'll play nice *wink wink*

wisdom n Wisden, Coffee n Cricket, 

scores of runs u've made, wicket to wicket

words flow as i think of you, for

u show like a firefly amidst a thicket

you greet mornings,

you bid nights adieu

when do u catch a wink dad?

we ain't got a clue

remember the days of yore

when we felt like life was a bore

you cracked up a wise joke

n then it became a folklore :p

at times we bugged you to no end

times, you felt we needed a mend

you made a noise that sounded like a thunder

after which we didnt have a ear to lend

u love to listen, less to talk

u can't live without ur morning walk

if u see me with you (on the walk), u stare n gawk

for all my quirks, you love to mock

patience, yours is like a Hummer on the road

rugged n strong, weathered n cured!

may we borrow some? for we need it dearly

a pint of it will be an adequate load!

sixty welcomes you, once u were a young lad

we know not those days, for you were alwayz our dad!

but herez ur chance at a second childhood

now you start again at One, loads more to add!

we'll take care of ur children, don't be sad

i'll stop rhyming now, don't be mad!

gone u've been for quite a while now

waiting for you to come home, we love u dad :)
