‘A MAN’

Adapted from Short story ‘A Man’ by Ernest Buckler

I am just sitting here

Waiting for a meaningful words

“I love you son”

But when will I be hearing it?

Yesterday? Tomorrow? Yesterday? Never?

How I wish to hear words NOW!!


Heart shattered with gloomy feelings

Like cloudy sky strolling along the rainy path

Overcast everything ahead

Covering the sun to make it a happy day

Grazing away the sadness to reveal the true happiness

But why must this happen?

I know the sun is still there

I know it will shine

I know it will bring the happiness


Father

I know you love me

But my heartburning

Feeling jealousy

Looking for other kids

Why you didn’t do like their father to me


Father

After that incident at last I feel relieve

After seeing your reaction

After listening to your words

And those powerful words making me feel strong inside

“You don't think I'da made you go for them cows, if I'd a knowed you was gonna get hurt..."

fathers are those people who wont say or show directly how much they care for their children. but its those hidden words proves sumthing
