Exploring a “Father – Daughter” Relation
I can remember your tiny smile
Holding you close to me all the while
Now you’re a woman, no longer a child
I can hardly believe
How the years are so fleeting
And now that it’s time to give you away
So beautiful on your Wedding Day
There’s only one thing that I can say
In my heart,
It’s my darling and I
A glass broke…. I say Ooh! He says - Oh! And she says “sorry”
To me it’s a glass out of a set of 12, pieces to pick up, floor to clean and obviously, a lesson to
teach, to make her a disciplined and obedient child.
To him, it’s a challenge to cheer her up, see to it that she is not hurt and ‘move on’, play and have
fun Great! But why do we see it so differently? Situation is same; do I love my daughter any lesser?
Answer is-a big ‘NO’, then why do I feel differently.
I indeed am a blessed mother and a proud wife, I love to see the way the two of them share a
beautiful relation. I admire to be a gentle part of their relationship. I wish to be like him. I look into her
eyes, she stares at me and yells; ‘papa, I love you! To me, it’s a great feeling, for,she can see him
through me.
Difficult to explore, yet easy to observe and feel. So, I left exploring long time back and enjoy
sharing what they have in between them, for, she indeed is the princess of our world.
