Prof. M Zahidul Haque
Baba,
Still stood like
That big Banyan tree,
Providing shadows to the family
Protecting children against all odds,
Of life and living!
From dawn to dusk
Baba works in the field,
In all seasons
From winter to spring
Cultivates crops to earn living
For members of his family and for him.
Baba pays for children’s education
Raring his hidden dream-
One day, they would be
Worthy citizens-
Make name and fame!
On this auspicious Father’s Day
Our hearty wish--Baba,
You live long and be happy!
NOTE: This poem is composed marking the Father’s Day which falls on June 18, 2023.
Fathers deserve our respect and recognition of their great sacrifice.
