Dear Daughter

-
You are still a little girl
But soon you will grow.
There are lots I need to tell you
And lots you should know.

Remember you are special
And will always be.
Though now you are my daughter
Soon you'll be a friend to me.

Life is not easy
But its not difficult too..
I am sure you will succeed
If you remain as "You".

Success does not always  mean
Riches, parties or fleet of cars.
In fact, it is the wealth of smiles
You gather during happy hours.

Success has no meaning
If no true friends are by your side,
If you are lonely at heart
Or have things to hide.

Live a life to its fullest
Not because you have to.
Life lived well is really one
When you truly want to.

It is better to be remembered
By people, even if few.
For all the good you have done
And for their joys due to you.

There will be heartbreaks and sorrow
Thats how works the wheel of life.
It is up to you
To find peace amidst strife.

The dark clouds will only stay
If you don't let them pass.
Have faith and keep moving
Remember, there's no empty glass.

No matter whatever happens
Remember you will cope.
Only thing you need then
Is oodles of hope.

There is no need
To be always prim and proper.
Let your hair down once in a while
Be your own life's chauffer.

People will always advice
You to do this or that.
Hear them out with patience
But in the end follow your heart.

You will make mistakes
No need to aim for perfection.
Whats the point in living
When there is nothing for introspection.

There are so many more
I have to share with you.
But let me take a break
With the words -"I love you".

Grateful For A Moment

Sometimes, we end up getting what we badly need in life. It had been a long time since I took a break from work. Thanks to lockdown and proximity to office, I was one of the chosen few who relentlessly went to work. Days went by, months passed and yet, there I was busy meeting deadlines. Maybe, the fact that I was nearing burnout had reached God. Hence, it resulted in the most favourite moment of this week, a statement that I was to stay at home for 14 days. 14 days of bliss, 14 days of peace, 14 days of self development and relaxation.  For some people such a dictact would imply pain and torture. After all, who wants to leave the rat race and squander 14 previous days! Yet, for people like me (Yes, I know I am not alone!) these 14 days are a welcome break, a diversion from monotony.  So beginning today, it would be my endeavour to express my gratitude using prompts. Hence, based on today's prompt, let me describe... My favourite moment this week has been th

Apart Yet Together

I never knew I'd meet you, And that you'd look beyond my scars, Though we aren't meant to be, Time with you my happiest hours. Its been ages since I've felt this way, You touched corners I never knew, We are in two different worlds, Yet I am glad my world is you. Happy that I met you, We did meet for a reason, You are my earth I am your sky, Our paradise, our horizon. You've given me million reasons, To laugh, blush and smile, I've never felt this happy, You've made my life worthwhile. I could go on writing, Oh! So many things to say, You're etched in my soul, I'm glad we met this way. Its not easy to be us, You are wind and I am fire, But the feelings we have inside, Will cater for every desire. No matter where life takes us, Roads keeping us apart, Though separated by distance, Always connected at heart. Love can fade, hearts can break, But we are shore and the sea, Tog

Loved By A Writer

You are loved by a writer my love, You will remain alive for eons to come, in the hearts of lovers. You will be a beacon for those who wander in search of a muse, a symbol, that love is eternal. And till there is you, there is love, And a hope that for every ending, there is always a new beginning.
