My Sweet Girl
Time moved so fast.
My little girl has now grown up
to enter a new life of her.
As I close my eyes,
I could still hear her giggles.
I could still remember her school days.
I used to search my little girl at end of class
At school compound amongst all girls with blue–white uniforms
the moment she located me at the gate
she used to run keeping her friends behind
to reach me first and embrace.
She used to tell me
all incidents in her school which moved her.
Be it a teacher or a classmate I knew them by name.
She gave me a lot of pride
as a student and as only girl of mine.
She mesmerized all with her love, affection and sympathy
She has all the good values whatever one can expect.
So devoted to our family and home.
I am so happy that
my little darling has now grown up to take new responsibility.
A new life partner to establish a new world.
I wish my little champion
to pass out all exams in life with flying colour
and remain a bright star like her school days.
Only I will be missing her.
Now my rapt attention to listen to her talk will not be needed.
I will not require to think of new stories to tell her at bed time
I need not make phone call every now and then
to know her whereabouts.
All my activities revolved around my sweet girl
And all my daily routine around her will not be required.
Now, I will have a new work
to think about my child all the day
and to walk on the memory lane
where both of us walked hand in hand.
