Someone special...

He seemed to be tensed,
Frantic to finish his work,
All his frustrations fenced,
Between the norms that lurk.

Lines of dismay appeared as a frown,
Beads of efforts seemed to make him drown,
His hands faced the sheets in fear,
The air so fragile with the deadline near.

I wanted to go upto him,
And place my arms around,
Tell him 'Its not end of the world'
And remind him that he isn't duty bound.

But I didn't know how to approach,
Or tread across the thin ice,
I feared breaking a barrier,
A barrier that shouldn't demise

So,I started to retreat,
Still wondering when we could meet,
When I saw him reach behind,
Pulling out his memories of time.

He looked at the stills of life,
which suddenly brought an exuberant smile,
The smile that I longed to see,
The smile that made me believe.

I pondered at the cause of change.
A slight turn left me deranged,
For he was looking at his family,
Something that brought a flutter within me.

It was then I realized the worth,
Of the Largest gestures to the smallest of words,
And At that moment,a familiar feeling,among the rest,stood above.
An urge to tell him,' Dad, you're always loved'.
