to Ojas .. on 4th bday

I want you to follow your own dreams, yet I wish you fulfill all my dreams I could not achieve.

I want you to be independent and fearless, yet I am worried even when you simply want to walk without holding my finger.

I want you to be a self-made man, yet I cannot stop the urge to provide you with everything beyond my capacity.

I want to spend time with you, yet I often make choices to go away from you so that I can spend time with you.

I want you to value inner qualities like love and compassion over skin deep beauty, yet I feel you are the most beautiful kid in this world.

I want you to be down to earth and modest, yet I am so proud of you.

In future, as a grown up, I am the person with whom your opinions may clash the most, yet I will be your biggest supporter in whatever you decide to do.

I am your old man, yet I am at my youngest when I am with you.

Happy 4th birthday Dear Ojas...
