FATHER

FATHER

(A Pleiades Form adapted with modification from an anonymous writer’s work)

P Gaan

P K Routray

Fortitude of mountain and majesty of a tree,

Full warmth of summer sun and calmness of sea,

Familiar generous soul of nature and comforting calmness of night,

Formidable wisdom and power of an eagle’s flight,

Faith of a mustard seed, the joy of a spring morning,

Forethought for the family need, silence that eternity does bring,

Father is God’s masterpiece creation with all these virtues interwoven in a string.
