Poet's note: Written on June 18, 2018 to all dads, past and present. Father's are generally considered too strict and uncompromising by their kids. Their importance in the family set up is usually recognized post-humously , long after he is dead. This a hommage to father's like me and many others who are only glorified by their, otherwise, recalcitrant kids only after their demise.
