Bapuji, My Guide, My Idol

a poem by Padmini

O Great Father! O Great Teacher.
You taught us every path to pave in life.
There was an answer to every problem in life.
We read in the book of your life.

O Great Father! O Great Teacher.
Your great teachings and your great preachings
Your principles and ideals really a guide.
Every solution we can find in your life.

O Great Father! O Great Teacher.
How can a man be such a wonder and delight?
A man with so much of humour and sprite.
Yet a man who had a holistic way to life.

O Great Father! O Great Teacher.
You are truly a pride to the nation.
A man with truth and indignation.
A man with a wealth of understanding of every nation.

O Great Father! O Great Teacher.
You knew what every man was seeking for.
You could give every man a reason to live for.
You could make the miserable man undefeated.

O Great Father! O Great Teacher.
Your understand stands an example for all.
You won your war with truth and justice for all.
Your weapons you sharpened with an of peace for all.

O Great Father! O Great Teacher.
Even today in our hearts you stand.
Even when every country is in a strand.
With hatred spreading each heart everyday.
One day hope will shine with you Father that day.
