FATHERHOOD

In a hood where a man has to see
Farther than an eagle's vision -
Fatherhood

Have you seen a feather?
Weightless as it is yet teaching the father that this hood is a different ball game altogether
Childhood is soothingly rich with cares and going
Through the incomparably rich memories of boyhood
With adulthood standing at the door patiently and 
Manhood smiling at him with the ultimate likelihood that he will be hugged with the arms of parenthood
And given the thorned-sofa of fatherhood

 Father, hasn't fatherhood taught you to look further?
Performing both motherhood and fatherhood 
Taking the role of motherhood in her absence
Fatherhood has a large neighborhood and
With great power comes great responsibilities

Father, your responsibilities are great and
They have been discharged well
If not, visit boyhood again!

Father! You have seen and gone far!
