I know Dad,

you both laboured

most of your lives

to grow me, to groom me.


But don't feel bad, Dad

even for a moment,

if I give more credit

to her, than to you.


She laboured nine months

to produce me.

You laboured seven minutes,

lay back contentedly.


Don't feel bad, Dad

I fully understand.

For I, too, am

just a mere dad.


- Ganesh Eashwar


PS: Thank you for a job well done.

Happy Father's Day!

To all fathers.
