Father’s blessing

Father is a friend-like teacher

Who teaches us to fight, wrestle and die proudly when life is unjust

And acts like a role model for the little one

So to respect our father should be a must

Many philosophers say this

‘Whose father places his hand upon his child’s head

Can enjoy a sound sleep’

And now after counting the sacrifices he made for me

I think their words I can trust in my heart very deep

If a mother dies, a child’s childhood is lost

But if father dies, his dreams are lost

A father’s toil is no less than a mother

Because he works hard for his children in his life’s way

Everyone must be blessed with a father’s love

This is what to you, my lord, I pray.
