Prelude to my father

by Snehal Vadher

[ poetry - march 05 ]

My father has been working all day,
And I have done nothing.
This has been going on for months.
I have seen him grow fat,
And I have remained thin.
My father has a lot to worry about,
And I have to bother about nothing.
This has been going on for years.
I have seen him grow fat,
And I have remained thin.
