To my daughter...


my darling, my angel!

a piece of body, a piece of my soul, 

my lovely daughter!

how I want to see you happy....

I want to give you everything, I wished, wanted for myself

 the perfect bliss, the perfect knowledge, the perfect life

I am scared you will make...mistakes I made, 

I want to shield, protect, take you in my arms and hide

you are so precious, so vulnerable...I hug you tightly, you feel uncomfortable

you want to break free,  I tighten my embrace, 

you scream...let me go..give me my space

I am hurt...

am I transgressing, is that not my right, to nurture, to shade you from sunlight!

I recoil... the very shade hath you wilting, 

stunned....I blame, disapprove, push back.

your accusing eyes make me crack

my ego, my soul... bruised, fallen, snapped

I concede....let go, you are happy...in your flight

May be once you are a mother, will feel my plight

when you are given a speck of life to nurture, how it feels,what it takes..

for now I know, you are destined, to make your own set of mistakes.
