Happy Father's Day

My PAPA ..
a man who has never had any tertiary education ..
but a man who has managed to groom all his children into Engineers ..
but a man who has climbed the ladder from an office boy to a manager ..
but a man who started bare-footedly and walks in leather shoes today ..

My PAPA ..
a man who was once accused by the others as being thrifty ..
but a man who has never ever hesitated to splash money on our education ..
but a man who has deprived himself of new clothes, just to get his beloved ones theirs ..
but a man who is never afraid of being labelled stingy..
for he is always wealthy in catering to his family ..

My PAPA ..
in you, we have seen the best example of 'nothing is impossibe' ..
in you, we have seen the replica of a successful person in life ..
I remember u told us : Everything starts from a dream, never be ashamed to dream ..
and we do still remember things that u told us from day one ..

Words are scarce to express our gratitude ..
for nothing could be enough to return ur love and care..
:) Happy Father's Day :)
