Dad, Will You...
/Dad, Will You Ever Comeback?
I remember being a six year old standing behind the door to scare him,
The look on his face was priceless,
After a busy day at work I was his win.
I remember asking him to clean shave his beard,
It’s prickly, I said, it might hurt me I feared.
I remember the time when I asked to iron his shirt,
You could see the entire world from the burnt hole I created,
With a smile he said, don’t worry about Ma,
“It was I who did this” to her he elaborated.
I remember waiting till 9 for him to bring gifts on my birthday,
It was a chilly night,
And with every passing wave of wind,
He went away.
Dad? Will you comeback?
I see you everyday, but-
Dad? Will you comeback?
I talk to you everyday, but-
Dad? Will you ever comeback?
I am still standing behind that door.
