TO A SPECIAL DAD

  Chandni and Roshni. London

 

We really are so lucky,

To have a dad like you,

Who helps us on our way through life,

In everything we do.

 

You’ve given words of wisdom,

And we just want you to know,

You really are the greatest dad,

And we love you so!!!

 

With lots of love,

Chandni and Roshni -

LOVE YOU PAPA...

In memory of my Father

I remember you and your bright eyes

Your love showers and chocolate surprise

How you used to take me out for a round

With love you used to heal my every wound

 

I still remember the day I lost you

And the last good bye when I told you

You couldn’t speak but waved and smiled

In my eyes every memory I compiled

 

I was seven and she was five

When you left us we had to strive

Your love and mum’s endeavor brought us here

Though far from us, you were always near

 

Those days, I wish I could revive

And wish that you could see us thrive

We are just like you, upright and strong

Your values will never let us go wrong

 

If you are watching us from the heaven today

The only thing that we want to say

Is that, we love you papa and we miss you very much

I know you are with me but I miss your tender touch

 

 I am attaching  a poem that was written by Bhanjibhai Dosabhai of Mbale when

 he had come to visit Canada in 1979.  He was my father's good friend and at that

time there weren't too many seniors here so the two of them had become very close. 

Bhanjibhai wrote this beautiful poem to cherish the friendship between the two of them!

I have the original in his own handwriting.-  Kanchan Zala, Toronto. Canada

Gokul na girdhaari radiyaa ma mare…. Gokul na girdhaari

Paar na paame sanakaadic Naarad, ved gayaa chhe vaari… radiyaa ma mare

Latakaali chaal ne ghunghar ghamake chhe, nirakhi rahyaa nar naari… 
                                                                                          radiyaa ma maare

Jitavaane aave te haari ne jaaya chhe, alagaa rahe algaari.. …radiyaa ma mare

 

Ramataani saath maasi Putanaa ramadi, galu to rundhaavi ne maari…

                                                                                             radiyaa ma mare

Najaru bhari sau nirakhe chhe dhaari, bansi suno sukhkaari…..

Chhoru chhe Nanda Jashoda no pyaaro, gop ne gopi ne ramaadi…

Daravaa ne laagyo chhe Kans Raajaa, pan tene to naakhyo chhe maari..

 

Neh lagaadi ne raas ramaadi, gopi o ne preet to lagaadi

 

Yaadav kutumb ne gaayo charaavi, dahi dudh bhukh to jagaadi…

Divya darshan bhalaa kem bhulaaye, Gopal aanand bhaari…

 

Hello Dad today is your day!!

Haresh V Dhakan, Dubai. UAE

Take me to play, take me to Mcdonald’s

Is always we tell you and you gladly take us there,

There is lot we ask and hardly have you rejected our demands

But rarely do we remember how you manage us!!

 

Oh Dad, let me “Thank-you” for all you did for us

Let us recall how the days go from the time we start asking

Our demands endless, while we still growing

Even till the time we are grown up, we still keep asking!!

 

I think it’s nice to be kids, spoilt for attention more and more

Than being grown-up, your attention gets diverted

But still you take care, all our needs, school and college

Taking us out for picnics and vacation tours to Dubai and India 

 

Its time we realise, tomorrow we too will be like you, Dad

Hope to give the best to our kids and love them like you do.

Give them all like you give. Be happy with their SMILES and

Get the compliments “My Dad is the Best Person in the world”!!

MOTHER'S DAY
