MURMUR OF MY HEART: MY FATHER!


Most quizzingly
I enquired my daughters:
Who mended my torn half-pant,
The stitch of which was worn out from that place

Keeping mum, the seconds quipped lovingly:
The Grandfather did it so!

She knew the bonding through her witty remark
as she drew a parallel between us two

An octogenarian my father is
Weak of eyes and trembling hands

The needle and the tread
have so much common in them
The one pry and the other pave the mend

By the time I soaked the murmur of my heart
A warm drop mapped my cheeks

Pondering the beat
I withdrew all reasons from my crawling heart
You are more that any definition to me
You are the murmur of my heart;
My Father!
