He Is… Poem by kalpana shah

He Is…

A stern looking man
Respectable, bespectacled
A bald headed, a hot headed
Frowned face reminding us
Yes, i am a father!
Agree! You are a father
But you too have a heart to love!
Why don't you display that!
We loved you, it was in our behaviour
Our excitement
But why can't you?
A question was always there
On our tiny to adolescent to adult head
And then we became parents
We knew and he flared his emotion
A hidden emotion of love
Then i understood him
As a man- standing tall
As a man - an umbrella
As a man- a shield
To protect us
From evils of the world
And that's what father is!
A mask of stern face
Underneath a warm and loving man he is!

He Is…
