Come Back With A Smile! Poem by Gita Ashok
Come Back With A Smile!
This poem is dedicated to the fond memory of my father who left this world almost twenty-two years ago. It feels like yesterday whenever I think of him.
Come Back With a Smile!
Come back with a smile!
You would always say –
whenever I left for school.
A smile you perpetually had
on your face each day –
for you knew how to celebrate life.
You taught me to dream;
you taught me to walk;
you taught me to smile;
you taught me to laugh.
Your caring words;
your comforting voice – I no longer hear.
Your absence I feel each and every moment.
Come back with a smile!
You would always say –
whenever I left for college.
And I always came back
with a smile each day –
waiting to hear your caring words
and comforting voice again.
You made me fall in love with numbers;
you helped me hone my linguistic skills;
you made me appreciate every kind of music.
With you it was never-ending fun.
Your positive frame of mind;
your undying passion for life;
your calm and cool demeanour -
I still see in your picture by the bedside.
Come back with a smile!
I imagine you saying
even after twenty-two years
whenever your thoughts come to my mind.

Father's love is some hing people seldom talk about. Still, it is something realistic and worth talking about. You did it, Gita. Nice write! Let your poem be dedicated to all fathers. Thanks for sharing.
Very touching....... it so often happens that we don't value what we have and regret it later when its to late. Written very nicely Ma'am.
very touching but it is soothing to know that still the memory is very powerful giving all the inspiration in life..
You made me fall in love with numbers; you helped me hone my linguistic skills; ......... .reminiscence ruffles in vale of tears wounds love yet haunts deep as when dipped down in his sea heart crunches unveiling own blood by portrayal, quite poignant as we remember departed father, really a greatest tribute to your father,10+++
Come back with a smile! I imagine you saying even after twenty-two years whenever your thoughts come to my mind.......it is passionate and true love love. it has hidden true feelings too.. nicely composed one....10
