Dear Appa,
Today, they say is Father's Day,
For me , everyday is your day!
You were a blend of discipline with love,
strict in certain matters, to which we bow,
An embodiment of strength and honesty,
you sailed through turbulent waters fearlessly.
You had truth in anger
shouldered responsibilities,
when very young .
Your difficulties faced, you never sung.
Your absence now is felt all the more,
it shakes my very core.
You were attached, yet remained detached.
Dad, you were misunderstood by many,
especially by those who were uncanny.
We love you dad for moulding us so,
easy it is as each year we grow,
to face the sojourn ahead with its twists and turns,
remembering you with affection, as we learn and unlearn!

Do not neglect the older child
when a new one comes along !
The pain caused will remain in the
little heart, only to peep later causing
untold misery.-
Rains and wind @Singapore
Winds lashing furiously.
Rains pouring its fury.
Door panes and window panes,
the glasses shaking in its frame.
Nature is playing a queer game,
Sri Vaayu and Sri Varun are to be blamed?
Their anger unleashed,
us they teased.
We, at all times, go the Nature's way,
as the saturated clouds turn grey!
The mood everywhere is unpredictable,
we learn then to be adaptable !

Toddlers should be admired and appreciated and if they do
something wrong, tell it once ,
pause and be your usual self to the toddler.
In that way, they gain confidence
and grow up to be fine adults
with good mannerisms.

Those toothless grins are so beautiful,
Sends in me a joy , so bountiful.
You are my whole world now,
I . in gratitude to the Maker bow.
Your first steps all cute and wobbly
sends in me a sensation utterly lovely!
-
You are God's precious gift.
Will bring you up with grit.
Make you smile lovingly,
teaching you to look caringly,
at creatures that need help,
they are seeking succour when they yelp!-
When one thinks of separating mother and her child, by hook or by crook, they are taken totally unawares of the repercussions that follow !

Heinous men dare
to commit crime
that once was a rarity,
Now they carry it with aplomb,
with gun shots and bomb.
