We Can Never Repay Our Fathers

How many a man struggles to shine their own crown

Blessed are the times when a son can throne the Father down

On an evening seeing the old man stand with a bit of a frown

Give him a hug, tell him he loves him, drive together around town

Shower and bathe him with glad tidings that he’ll appreciate

Something that makes a long time provider’s heart levitate

Fill his round belly with nature’s best and make him smile

There’s a bit of tact involved, some men perceive honour in trial

Alhamdulillah these conversations require slight guile ;)

His foot on my neck balances without any strife

Letting out an exhale - enjoying the rest of life

With blessed relaxation and

God’s gift of a wife

It’s from الله
