It is he (father) who faces different hardships throughout his life so that we can live a comfortable life. Those who have lost their father at an early age, can understand the significance of their father.  However, in 21st century separation among parents is increasing day by day which is a point of great concern.

Father: A True Tower of Strength! In the realm of love, a steadfast guide, A tower of strength, forever by my side. A figure of wisdom, a heart so true, This ode I pen, my dear father for you.

WORDS! A POEM

 Background In this poem, I have described the importance, impact, impact, and reaction of certain words. Actually, while communicating with others, we use different words that hurt others including making them angry.  Therefore, we should use soft words that may soothe and keep others happy. Similarly, words have power, sense, hidden meanings, ideas, and indications. This is why we need to be very much careful while choosing and using certain words including being attentive to them. WORDS! A POEM We play on words as words are a wonder Kind words, soft words, and sweet words feel fonder; Harsh words, hard words, and silly words are an offender; Little words, few words, slight words are attender, We play on words as words are a wonder! Class, lifestyle, caliber, level, and position are the pretender Words after all words that cut the ground from under; Politics, power, diplomacy , and bureaucracy are plunder; Words such as words that pull the rug out from under,...
