I always look upto you If ever I feel low I’ll never forget those handful of almonds and your words Before my exam “blows” Till now since I was one You’ve been always happy and calm Whatever situation you may face You’ve always taught me to be the positive one! Your dear hug And that loving smile Is the most comforting thing I will ever find I thank you so much On this fathers day I wish we always keep smiling, And all happiness comes your way!
