son to father

Dear father 

I should have written this letter long before, but could not find the time like you always found when I was a little child. I know you were always there to support me for my right and correct me for my wrong. When I was a child you were there to hold my hand and walk  me through the storms and protect me as  I was not so strong and naïve. You sculpted me to the perfect statute with best of all manners, etiquettes and the best of modesty and humbleness and purity that was to take me to the summit of my life. When I grew up and new phases of life knocked my door you were always standing beside to support me and not letting me fall. I rebelled to get my way and fulfill my dreams and aspirations. I was rude and at times to loud, but then too your face never showed a sign of wrath. You never let me feel my failure, never let me feel down. You just said, “follow your dreams son, I know you reach the greatest of heights, shine in the universe bright as the sun and make yourself proud.” My success was your crown.  I always felt thankful to have you but never mentioned my gratitude aloud. I wanted to give you your crown embedded with diamonds and intricate in design so that more than my shine your pride outshined. There were moments of failure when situations didn’t seem perfect in life. There was hopelessness, my heart was sulking, and the way was not clear and defined. My dreams, my passion all had shattered; broken into small pieces not to be found. But you were there to give your hand and make me sail against the tide. I still remember the words you said that made me the king of my life; “son never feel disheartened, because this is the biggest failure. Throwing off your spirits and giving up can never make you rise. When everything seems impossible give yourself a chance to fight. You may not have succeeded right now but the option to rise has not vanished from your side. I am by you always, I have the trust and faith in you that with this dedication and hard work, you reach the final destination of your dream life.” These are the lines which made me into a person that does not give up on struggle of life. I thank you for giving me that one opportunity and understanding my dreams, my aspirations and not let me cripple for rest of my lifetime.

Your son
