Sandgrouse is a bird whose male partner feeds its chick
I was on cloud nine when my daughter tweeted me today,
Showering me with all the adjectives on this very day,
Stimulus was in my brain, the soul search was easy,
My aged gray mater gave the answer for that query.
Today is a special day for all male parents, it's Father’s day,
Yours truly included, my daughters too wished the same,
In vogue since early last century, in the third week of June,
A gesture, oft shadowed in the limelight of motherhood.
So where his greatness lies, to be honored on his very Day,
Oh! A tricky query indeed, he is not in the picture at all,
Apart from the ceremonial christening the child, the rest,
Is motherhood, the hardships, of labor or feeding and all.
We oft forget his silent force, behind the back of any child,
Physical presence of the man can trigger a fear in a house,
He can usher goodwill, clamor for discipline in most wards,
Oft it’s a fact, female children adore them and vice versa.
Nature too acts likewise, father loves the female child more,
The breadwinner in most of our land, adds its weight too,
Men express emotions in a guided way unlike most women
Always he is calm outside, may burn and churn inside.
We salute him for his greatness, oft misunderstood in life.
Calm amidst the burning ship, yet with a way for a safe exit,
A cynosure for admiration, yet not deserving the due credit.
We salute thee for thy greatness, May thy tribe increase!
