My father , my treasure

                            My father, my treasure - On Father's day



  Here is an outpouring of feelings of a son towards his father.

When I was three years of age, I felt that my father is the most powerful person in the whole world.

When I became six years of age, my father seemed to be the most learned one among all the people.

When I was fifteen, I started feeling that my dad is far behind the times and needs some more knowledge to keep pace with the present progressive world.

When I entered my twenty, I felt my father could not match the wave lengths of my thoughts.

When I was twenty five, I imagined that my father has the habit of finding fault with each and every work. So to seek his advice or help is futile.

When I was thirty, it dawned on me that my father could understand a little of the world and its ways because of the exposure to the media.

When I was thirty five, something in me urged that I should seek his advice in small matters at least.

When I was forty, I felt the need of my father's guidance in some important matters also.
 
When I was fifty, I decided that I should not do anything without consulting my father, because by then I had realized that my father is the most wisest man in the world and a precious treasure to possess. Indeed, father is a precious gift given to all by the Almighty.

This depicts how the feelings attain maturity in due course.
For an innocent child, his home is the world . He adores his father as the supreme in the whole world. As he grows into a big boy and reacts with the external world, he starts finding limitations in his father . Slowly as he gets into the middle age and a little above and after undergoing all the tribulations in life, he realizes the spark of wisdom in his father.
This is a beautiful graphic description of the feelings of a child from his innocence to adulthood.
