Spring Of My Life- My Daughter

 

Time winged

And my daughter matured

The tiny little girl

Who strongly held my fingers

Today, moves away

Leaving me in tears

Tears are of mirth

That

She is going to embark

Nurturing

Mansion of dreams

Tears are of sadness

That

I will miss her

Smiles & giggles

In my life

And

My ears will ache

To hear

Us calling

Maa & Papaa…Dear.

Emptying my nest

She is ambling there

With

The Charming Prince

To

Start a new life

With

A set of

New Relationships

Parents

Siblings

And many more

Strings of relationships

You will cheer.

Praying for your

Happiness

Sound health

And

Prosperity

Welcomes your path

Wherever you keep your lovely feet.

Adorn your new kingdom

Nurturing & nourishing

With love

With happiness

And

Adversity

Stays far away from you dear.

My eyes have welled with tears

But

I am holding back

Praying for a lovely future,

My Princess,

My Dear.
