For My Father
By Mahmud Vellani •
With effortless ease
I shadow an image
of emotions and actions
of fortitude
and learnt moral values.
And it's in ideal fashion.
My Father and I were similar
In thought and universal education.
So in some latent way I have inherited
That which is unique
And our own.
But it's more.
It's the common thread
Of a life spent and learnt.
Most certainly,
It's the genes.
Family.
And there is Love
