Happy Father's Day


கத்தை கத்தையாய்
- பணத்தை பார்த்தாலும்
கந்தலாய் இருந்திருப்பேன்
- நீ இல்லை என்றால்

வித்தைகள் பல கற்று
- யுத்தங்கள் வென்றாலும்
சொத்தையாய் போயிருப்பேன்
- நீ இல்லை என்றால்

சொத்துக்கு பத்துக்கும்
- ஆசைப்படும் இவ்வுலகில்
சத்தாக என்னை
- வளர்த்தமைக்கு நன்றி

விண்ணுக்கும் மண்ணுக்கும்
- ஆசைப்படும் இவ்வுலகில்
கண்ணாக என்றும்
- இருப்பதற்கு நன்றி

Happy Father's Day

kaththai kaththayai
panathai paarthaalum
kandhalai irundhiruppen
nee illai endraal

vithaigal pala kattru
yuthangal vendraalum
sothaiyai poyiruppen
nee illai endraal

sothukkum pathukkum
aasaippadum ivvulagil
satthaaga ennai
valarthamaikku Nandri

vinnukkum mannukku
aasaippadum ivvulagil
kannaga endrum
iruppadharkku nandri

========================

Thaayir chiranda kovilum illai
Thanthai sol mikka mandiram illai
Aayiram ulagil perumaigal illai
Annai thanthaiye anbin ellai

Thannalamattradhu thaayin nenjam
Thaaimai niraindadhu kadavulin nenjam
Mannuyir kaappavar maandarul deivam
Annaiyum pithaavum munnari deivam

Good writing.. What better gift could a dad wish for !!
Its very nice of children to acknowledge what their parents mean to them. You dad must be thrilled to read this dedication. He deserves every bit of the happiness - for what he has raised you to be.

Great..nice one on your Appa...

I reflect the same opinion as Keerthi.. I am stuck at the first word.. not moving any further in my 'Kavithai' attempts..
What's the trick ?

Ganesh Venkittu said...

ramesh, not that your choice of picture was bad....but you could have put appa's young age picture...specifically the one where he has worn a tie inside out (marriage picture with amma)...

by putting his old age picture, you have brought back to my memory some of his current day problems man!!
