He halted at the doorstep for one last thought,
Would it be the toughest battle he ever fought?
Will they like him? Only, time would tell.
There was no turning back, so he rang the bell.

“Evening Sir!”, he politely said to the Dad,
Trying to be the world’s finest lad.
The Dad just grunted, as he opened the door,
His eyes clearly said, “I expected more.”

“Thank-you Sir!” he said anyway,
The dad just smirked, and walked away.
He struggled with his coat that wouldn’t let go,
Why was he even here? He almost didn’t know.

Was this the end? Was he really that bad?
He couldn’t believe this was ‘The Dad’!
Should he just turn around and leave?
This was no way to spend the new year’s eve.

And as he turned, to face the worst,
His heart missed a beat, as his eyes met hers!
After all it was not so bad,
It was not just ‘The Dad’, but ‘Her dad’!
