We Missed You Dad Poem by Ratan Bhattacharjee

We groped in darkness
Nobody was there but you
to give us the candle
We cried in fear
Nobody was there but you
to give out the firm hands to hold
We trembled in cold
Nobody was there but you
to give us the blanket and the quilt
We were hungry enough
Nobody was there but you
to give us a loaf of bread with butter

We felt that we missed you dad
When they took you to Peace Haven
But you remained with us
Smiling and smiling
We no longer miss you dad when you gave out your life
Your ideals to follow
and your those two eyes you donated to SSKM
For us to see a New Dream
about a New Tomorrow....
