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.
