If Only There Was a Road To Afterlife!
If only there was a road to afterlife,
I would have walked on that path,
not caring about the distance or that big burning star
I would have walked for days and nights even in rain
If only that would lead me to your door any way
The stories you would have told all laughter we could have shared
Your wrath when I did something stupid, your care when I was upset
I wanted you to be my side the day I had my stitches
I would have showed you every scar, and pointed out all the snitches
Yes he was there to pick me up and drop me off to school
But wouldn’t it have been too much fun if only there were YOU!
I know you smile when looking at him, he did your job as well
He loved me right, he took those fights, he kept me away from hell
They all just say how you were strict and it would have made me grey
But that’s the thing I wanted that, I never felt that pain!
Dada, I wish you were here with me when I see them in parks
How they are always walking around with kids, it leaves a mark
They pick them up from schools and tuition, they bring them all the candies
They tell them stories of wars on Land with peaceful lulls at night
I miss you everyday for sure, but there was one day when;
I prayed to God to send you home to teach those brats a LESSON
For some of them were wrecking havoc, It has been raining hell ever since
They bought those daggers and bombs so loud disguising for the world as Candy
Oh Dada Abu! I wish you were here, your wrath could’ve come in handy!!
I was never able to see my DADA ABU. And my NANA ABU was there to love me for both of them. He has been there to pamper, cherish and correct me all the times. But sometimes, when I am at home and NANA lives some 15 KM away, I wish DADA ABU was there. How he would have told me all thsoe stories, how he would have been the absolute powerful person in the family. I wish he were here because things then, would have been very different. Good for some and bad for others, but my heart says that he would have not let ANYONE inflict pain on his FAMILY. It has been decades since he passed away still I miss him so much.
