...
Had a fine sumptuous meal,
And received all good wishes,
Pal you looked so happy today,
Plus 28 years you completed,
You shall remember it all.
Best moments were spent with us,
In the lab we are one big family,
Rings of halo on your head,
Today on your birthday,
Heavy meals we all had,
Doing a lunch we did enjoy,
Another birthday comes so late,
Yes, obviously of the other labmates.
Afterwards, we might get separated,
Resting and working for ourselves,
Venerated is our Dr Mohanty sir,
Inches we are getting stronger,
Never getting discouraged,
Define he does a father.

To the one that has protected me
That feeling of relief
No more anxiety
Yet that feeling is so distant
Later came from a sister
Her descent crushed me,
It was like losing you
My protecter,
Unfortunately one that I hardly knew.

Today my heart grew heavy
By the pieces of a broken promise
Today my chest swelled with regret
At the revelation of your mortality
And so today, I swear an oath
That I will do right by you
I will fill your soul with pride
And make a father’s name eternal

It hurt
when I fell
off my bike,
skinning my knees
against the asphalt.
I looked up in shock,
my mouth a perfect O.
It wasn't until I saw
the blood,
streaming down my shins,
that I began to wail.
Over the crest of the hill,
I saw my father,
running to me,
his face creased with worry.
Without hesitation,
he picked me up, held me
in his arms.
I clung to him, helpless
as I was, sobbing into his neck.
He assured me that it was fine
I was fine
He was there, and
Nothing would hurt me.
Later, once home, bandaged and clean,
he threw away his favorite,
now-bloodstained, sky blue shirt.
It hurts more now
when I fall off my bike.
When he's no longer there to help me
back up,
wipe away the blood,
and promise me that I'm safe.
