Poem-No Tobacco

FATHER, PLEASE GIVE UP TOBACCO

Giving and sharing brings joy,

But giving up a vice brings greater joy,

It was but yesterday that we shared

Fond of memories, for old time’s sake,

Dear Father, won’t you give up tobacco,

For our sake?

We cherish fond memories of

Playing together,

Short bursts of speed; the long race,

Without much bother.

Panting and coughing;

We are heartbroken, you know now,

And then we pray that father would,

Run away from tobacco.

Now as you age, cancer may creep in

Without notice,

Our lives will be shattered in no time,

Because of this vice,

It is never too late to give up anything,

Dear Father, our Dear Father,

Please give up tobacco,

We aske for just one thing.

It sows the seeds of poison,

Leads to destruction of creations,

Rise above angels,

Not fall below animals,

Father, please give up tobacco!
