Hero

He didn't spend many years in school
Because his father couldn't afford it for more than 3 years,

He didn't have time to play with his friends
Because he was very busy earning for his
bread and butter from the age of 8 or 9,

He didn't enjoy the joy of loving a girl
Because he was very busy taking care of his
whole family in his teenage,

There were times when he has to walk for miles
together as he couldn't afford to pay for any
other means of commutation,

There were times he has been criticized by
everybody for some of the decisions he took,

There were times when he has been deserted by all his
close relatives and friends,

There were times when he has been very ill
without any hope for tomorrow,

He never once gave up,

He never once lost control in his life,

He never once cursed the people, who ditched him,

He never once cheated anybody for anything in his life,

I have heard many stories about heroes like Alexander to Achilles,
Form Shivaji to Bhagat Singh,

But for me, my father is the hero, a real HERO.
