Our precious Dad On his 60th Birth Day

Sixty long years have gone
You smiled them away with your own song
It is this integral part in you
Which has stunned us and many a few
Though life has not given you much to relish
You have successfully tasted different aspects
Of life which we will cherish

While Economics could give you adequate
Company throughout this life till date
We daughters feel bad we could not contribute
In any way in lightening your suffering which is pure fate
Since strained relationships with fellow beings has
Inflicted more pain and agony which cannot be said
We should learn to accept their inability to
Understand and establish a compatible
Companionship for we are all well read.

This auspicious day, let us pray
“Siva Sakthi’s wedding
Love and understanding of Akshya and Priya Darshini”
Should give you and all of us ,an immense pleasure which
Cannot be equated with anything in life.

-Understanding daughters.
