My Father Is …

My father is the greatest illiterate person in the world, Poorest of all the men in the world,
I considered him as the Ugliest person in the world,
Weakest of all in the World, and
A man who knows nothing in this World.

I am always ashamed to stand with him in a crowded area….!!

I always shouted with my father and even asked him to stay away from me….!!

I had even asked the god Why did you give me such a father to me….!!

I even tried to beat my father too…!!

Still he didn’t utter a word to me, Still not even a drop of tear flipped of from his eyes……!!

And one day he Died…..

Then I noticed a paper on his table.
On that paper my father wrote:

“Even if you considered me as Poorest,illiterate,Ugliest,and Weakest of all in the World….Even if you considered me as A man who knows nothing in this World…….Still I LOVE YOU SON…….Everything is for you SON……..Even if my stomach is empty I give you the Bread, Even if i had pain,I neglected it for YOU MY SON….Even if i had nothing to wear,I had not let you dressless……Even if i had not weared shoes in my life..,I didn’t let you shoeless…….I had prayed for you every day and night,evenif you avioded me in you prayers….YES SON I HAD NEGLECTED EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE FOR YOU….EVEN MY LAST DROP OF MY BLOOD………
ITS BECAUSE I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH MY DEAR SON…….AND LAST OF ALL PLEASE UNDERSTAND ME EVEN FROM THIS LETTER BECAUSE I WORTE THIS FROM BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE (AND YOU KNOW THAT I HAD SEEN UPTO 5th STANDARED)……….

GOOD BYE SON……….

I WISH YOU A GREAT LIFE, LIVE HAPPILY……..AND IF YOU CAN PLEASE REMEMBER ME IN YOUR PRAYERS FROM NOW ”

WITH A BROKEN HEART
YOUR LOVING FATHER…
