All have they said about mother,
indeed she deserves more,
but nothing have they reserved for you, father dear,
you are not "nothing."

Maybe they can't notice your love,
maybe they don't want to...
but I'm all ears to your silent Love, father dear,
that you don't want to parade;

I can see how inconspicuously
you love us , from your very debris, you are constructing our lives,

what we do in return?
we ignore you for your "nothingness",
reproach you for your rotten bricks,
that you have supplied us...
but probably that was all you had,
for you to survive,
but that too was passed on to us.
we can't quite understand this
that your very bricks is our very essence,
until it's our turn to pass on ours.?
