Dear father,
Since the day I was born to all the days that I lived up till now,
You are a part of every memory, now let me bow!

Bow to your unconditional love
Bow to the soul you carry within
I bow to you, for being by my side,
through every thick and the thin.

For a happy childhood,
And for being no less like a friend in my teen;
Dear father,
Every role played by you, was as best as it could have been.

An aimless life of mine took a U-turn,
With your guidance your crawling baby started a run,
A never-ending run on a path, where everything was beaming;
As you once said follow your heart and never let go of dreaming!

You made me a believer of dreams,
And a happy soul that I’m now,
Dear father,
The list is endless
For which I need to bow!

For listening to my never-ending doubts,
Helping me to deal with my emotional bouts,
Even when you are tired and your sleep level is as deep as an ocean;
I bow to you, For talking to me always keeping an eye open.

Let me bow to you,
For making me feel like I’m the most beautiful girl in this world,
Even when every pimple on my face was telling me I’m not even at par,
Dear father,
I bow to you for simply being the father that you are!
