Daughter

Daughter The river bank is clam and restful where I was sitting on a fallen dried tree trunk brighter sun has become tender glistening with golden smile setting behind the lush green canopy I recall the wonderful day you bone In a sententious cool evening! I was so impatience and anxious To see your little loving face you wake up me by the first scream of your birth It was filled with alarm, sweet hopes and temptations to hug the most wonderful gift apart from my son, you loving daughter! Limelight of my future expectations bone responsibility with love and care emerged I guessed, my love, affection and tasks has broaden to protect you from evil spirits of the kaleidoscopic society just like the grey heron sitting under the canopy of water lilies watching sharply the dangers of predators while little ones practicing the hunting game, Silence broke by a melodious tone of a bird roaming over the near surface of the river Its long dark shadow swinging on the light blue dancing waves depicting the hard side of the future life challenges I was trying on my best to equip you with all necessary skills to overcome future hindrances with love, care and affection It is a never ending spring like this river my dear daughter I believe, you will never ever forget even after my departure from you.
