PONDERINGS OF A DAUGHTER

PONDERINGS OF A DAUGHTER

staring into the realms of marriage, confronted at the crossroads of life

aside, i step,

to retrace my footsteps , on the sands of time,

to breathe the flavours of the forgotten sublime.

and throughout this sojourn, i see his eternal presence,

in every celebrations big and small;

as a paradigm of steady reliance,

in moments of rise and fall.

from the duties of compliance,

tirelessly ,he plays,

'genie' to my wishes

and

'oracle' to my queries ,

and along the naives of innocence,

silently, he cheers ,

the first step of the strides,

happily he claps ,

the first balance of the rides.

through the freedoms of ignorance,

a hero he is;

erasing my defects hard,

polishing my virtues small;

a friend he is,

killin the sorrows of defeats ,

sharing the joys of glories.

a man of incessant succulence,

he ushers you to the amazes of magic ;

he inspires you in the works of logic.

beside me he s there always in every experience,

as a sign post of guidance ;

in my fancied navigations of the youth,

in my zealed explorations of the truth.

hes my strength of subsistence,

'delighting in my wins,

forgiving my sins ,

hes the very essence;

in the manifests of my existence..

without him, i am null,

a wingless bird deceived of her flight,

devoid of him life seems dull;

a gloomy world robbed of light.

and now,

slowly it dawns;

all through the merries of life,

and also the worries of strife;

he was there at my hind,

putting me ,before him;

placing mine ,before his;

and

all this,

because

i was his,

'precious lil diamond'.

slowly, i look into his eyes,

and catch the images of love;

and

pains of bereave,

in the tears rapidly falling,

'THANK U DAD FOR MAKING,

ME OUT OF ME', i almost sigh,

but then

with a sudden gush.., i start weeeping....
