Withering Hearts On An Emotional Departure

Withering hearts on an emotional departure We believe, you cannot guess What we are about to say now. It really does seem like yesterday You were snuggled up in blanket in the bed Listening a story about ‘wedding of ‘Hima Kumari’ And we still see you there listening interestingly the saga The memory of childhood will be as clear in your mind as it is today Parents never truly lose their children to adulthood Because of their memories retain those wonderful times for them We will never, forget the day you were born. That wonderful morning Our house was filled with love and joy, We had much bigger plans for your life . You are the greatest miracle that we have ever been a part of, And we want you to know how incredibly proud us to have been chosen to be your dad and mum You changed us, honey! Oh! Our dearest daughter, Your wedding day will befall soon How the time flew just as a feather; from little gown decorated a teddy bear, to a wedding sari worn in customary facet you cannot know how much frangible our hearts When we feel that you will forsake us Little princes that grow to become a woman to loving parent; she is always their pretty little daughter, even after she make them grandparent The marriage will make you independent from your parent There is your partner to partake joy and sorrow In the journey of new life Even though, don’t forget, us Whenever you need, we’ll be there If your heart is broken, Or if you are consumed with worry Please come to us and share your burden If, no hands on the handlebars, Or deranged awful convulsions You can come to us and we know You have much of your own to look forward Remember, we cannot shield you from life’s ups and downs; But we have prepared you for the rollercoaster ride ahead.
