The poem explores the cyclical nature of life, depicting the gradual transition from childhood dependence to a parent's decline in old age. It highlights the quiet yet profound ways a father expresses love-through daily rituals, simple gestures, and unwavering presence. As time passes and illness takes hold, the father struggles with once-familiar tasks, leaving behind an emptiness in both his home and loved ones' hearts. Though the home now stands silent, his presence lingers in memories, proving that love transcends loss.
