Today the day
My father passed away
11 years to the date
Who can fight fate
Crosses my thoughts
Day after day
Lives in my heart
Night and Day
Your love for me
Till you feel hungry
Don't fool yourself
He used to tell me
Man of great talents
Communication almost absent
Man of few words
Heart the size of the universe
Very highly educated
Accounting and Taxation he meditated
Glorious corporate career
Used his skills till his end got near
Epitome of integrity
Naturally helping tendency
Value systems consistency
Known for his decency
Truth and God
His mates in his path
Never slipped once
Haven't met any since
Talent to invest
When to divest
Master in his own class
Shared his knowledge with all
Terrific strike rate
Would make fund managers irate
Percentage of growth in top gear
Beat the index year on year
Watched 4 movies a week
No other pleasure did he seek
Matinee idols on the screen
Watching them his only dream
Knew about the movies
Matching his subjects of study
Encyclopedia of cinema
An ocean to learn from
Investment banker or Movie critique
Easily shined in them too as a career
Not because he' was my father
His actions speak loud and clear
Calm disposition his personality
Empathy greatest quality
Loosing temper waste of energy
Long walks his tool to gain clarity
Never a negative word spoken
Nothing good to say don't say it
Conduct and Class predominant
Never expressed much emotion
House buzzing with family
Joint and extended
Treated all equally
Showed them Hollywood fares regularly
Alone or a Group
Fledging career or Rock Bottom
In the midst Calm or Chaos
Balance proved the man he was
Was he a Saint i often wonder
Or carried away because he's my father
A saint is a different dimension
But he was an excellent human being
His negatives i recall
Stored in my memory wall
Waves that leave behind salt water
Even in that we wet our feet with fun and laughter
Greatest strength not in these
Ray of light and a gentle cool breeze
They added to his inner core
Meaning of life and ways of the world
Intuition and experience he optimally combined both
He loved Paul Newman
His birthday God chose as his death day
How else will you say
When the last movie he watched was HOMBRE
