Notes About The Poem

This poem is a heartfelt tribute to my daughter, Ruponti, celebrating her strength, resilience, and inner light. Through the metaphors of dawn, rivers, storms, and the earth, the poem reflects a parent’s unwavering love and guidance. Nature is used as a symbol of life’s challenges and the growth they bring from thunderstorms to cyclones, each represents obstacles she may face, while the presence of loving parents serves as the grounding force, like roots and earth, always there to support her. Ultimately, the poem conveys a message of courage, hope, and the belief that even the fiercest storms help shape a brighter, stronger soul.

Ruponti

You are the dawn, a flame breaking through,
The river that shapes every stone it flows through.
The sky may darken with thunder and rain,
Yet light returns, and your strength will remain.

At times, a cyclone may rise in your way,
Or waves like tsunamis turn night into day.
Stand firm, my child, let your courage stand tall,
For every great storm must surrender and fall.

We are the roots holding steady below,
The ground that will lift you wherever you go.
Your smile kindles stars, your courage takes flight,
And we are forever so proud of your light.

Remember, dear child, storms help you to glow,
And we are the earth where your strongest roots grow.
