GEOFFREY

GEOFFREY
YOU HAVE BEEN MY HELPING HAND
WHICH HAS NEVER FAILED.
YOU HELPED ME THROUGH NIGHT AND DAY
IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS

WHEN WORK HAD TO BE DONE,
YOU TOOK UP THE BROOM
TO CLEAN THE UNTIDY ROOM
YOU GAVE UP YOUR FUN
YOU ARE HARD WORKING , MY SON.

YOU COOKED GOOD FOOD
AND CLEANED THE DISHES
RAN AT MY BECK AND CALL
AND DID ALL MY WISHES.

AT TIME AT NIGHT I COULD NOT SLEEP
INTO THE GARDEN WE WOULD CREEP
A SMALL CAMP FIRE WE DID BURN
AND WAIT FOR THE DAY LIGHT TO RETURN.

SOME TIMES WE DID NOT AGREE,
AND THIS REALLY WORRIED ME.
TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH IT ALWAYS HURT
AT WHAT YOU SAID, IT WAS THE WORST

BUT WHEN ALL WAS SAID AND DONE.
I AM GLAD YOU WERE MY SON,
A HELPING HAND THROUGH MY LIFE
IN HAPPINESS AND IN STRIFE


DEAR GEOFFREY, YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO MY LIFE IS RARE.
A SMALL KID THAT HAD TO ATTEND SCHOOL
WOULD SIT WITH ME AND LOOSE SLEEP AND ENERGY ,
AND STILL ATTEND SCHOOL NEXT MORNING,
HOW CAN I FORGET THOSE DAYS
THE DAYS IN FARIDABAD WAS MEMORABLE
THOSE WERE THE HARDED DAYS OF MY LIFE , HOW CAN I REPAY THAT, NOT IN THIS LIFE, IF GOD PERMITS MAY BE IN THE NEXT
