My Daughter

she crossed my threshold and went to his house,
my only daughter, wed and his dear spouse,
a girl once, a beautiful woman now,
history is witness to fresh new love,
said “he is my husband, I love him so”,
but daddy, I will never let you go!”

Krish...I have missed you. This is a really sweet little poem which I feel like your daughter will cherish for her whole life. Congratulations!

Thanks Milton! It is good to be back! My daughter got married in India to the man she loves. Since we are all based in UK, organising a wedding in India took a lot of our time!

Krish, this poem is so sweet! Is this true? Your only daughter got married!? Many years ago, I was very close to my father - He is still my Hero! Good to see you back. Is this why you were not visible here? Best wishes ~ Mala
