I often felt it; no one was blessed as I was for having you
Mother chose to fall in love well
and I thank her for making the right choice
You, daddy was the right choice

You loved her at the very best
You never cheated; you said she was your equal
She came first in everything

You were a good example in all you do
No domestic chore was too unmanly for you to do
You made us breakfast, lunch and dinner
You bathed me, you washed my clothes

You gave me a great mentality
You made me believed in me
You said I would excel because I have got a good brain
You said too, that I was equal to any boy even better
I was happy to have you, daddy
Very happy I was

Though we weren’t rich but I had the best father!
You and mother contributed to everything
You would hug and tell her she was everything
You bonded in a “too good to be true” way
I was proud

I rode with you to school and to everywhere else in you motorcycle I called “our jeep”
I could remember the way it made you laugh
I would cling to you, laid my head on your back with no worries
Trusting you, lost in my own world of sheer happiness
The ride with my father was the best part of my life

I bonded with you as no daughter has ever done with a father
You told me I was worth more than a 100 boy-child
I was the apple of your eyes!!!

But now I ride with you no more
I could not impress you with excellent marks and my silly little jokes any more
I could not compete with mummy as her rival seeking your attention any more
You left without saying goodbye

All mother does these days is sit at your favorite spot
gazing into the sky, reminiscing the old times
and talking to know one in particular
Could you be the one she commune with? I wonder

I remembered our last conversation
Where you told me I am the best and
I should always remember daddy loves me
That was what you said
Now I ride with you no more
