My Daughter Was Born
On the unforgettable morning of May second
When the dawn was peeping
Through the shadows of dark
Came a shrill cry
From the quiet tense corridors
Bringing them to life
Tears and laughs and shouts
Piercing the still atmosphere
Feet came running as if flying
To tell me of the
Ray of joy entering my world
My daughter was born
They gave me the tiny bundle
To hold her in my arms
She was so soft, so delicate ,so white
Slowly opening her eyes
As if clouds were parting
To let the sun rays come through
She gave me a smile
My world turned bright
Then closed her eyes
Went off to sleep
Peaceful in my arms
My daughter was born.
