Poem
On a night that was completely dry, A cheerful soul was staring at the starless sky. At her life that was completely dark, She smiled as though she was a lark. Wearing a rug like crap, Was laying on her father’s lap. What could make her feel the most beloved, To be with the person she’d always adored. Although they were hungry , the whole day, But were contented as they lay on the hay. With eyes full of love, her arms hugged her father. It was like heaven to them when they were together. With her anxious eyes and sugary voice , she said, “ Dad I want a dress that’s red!” Knowing how difficult it was to even get a piece of bread, Started thinking on how to arrange a dress that’s red. Her father gazed at her moon like face, ‘Hope’ was the only thing he could trace. Smile on face, held her head resembling a crown, “Sure! You’ll get it by dawn”. Next day she was even more happy, Finally she would throw the dress that was crappy. But it could not last long, As they hear the emergency gong. The father took his angel and ran to a safe place, Was running the fastest but lost his life’s race. A bullet went through him as he stood, Fell on the ground covered in blood. Seeing her heaven fall apart, Crackling sound came from her as it broke her heart . Though she was badly injured, She fell down because her heaven’s voice can no more be heard. Again with a face filled with hope, Shook her father as “ he’s faking” was the only scope. But it barely moved, All her hoping theories were disproved . She cried and laid on his blood filled body, Hoping that seeing his angel cry will wake up her daddy. Her body was covered in blood, She said to the man she always loved, “It’s dawn ; you kept your promise dad! I got the dress that is red!”. With her angelic smile she fell and the time seemed to be frozen, It felt like this was her dream place that she’d chosen. Her sweet soul besides the kind soul of her father. They were smiling like it was heaven , And why not , when now they were eternally together.
