Hello people!! Sorry for not writing for such a long long time! :\
Anyway, I am back!
And here is a poem, in which I tried to write about the feelings of a mother when she is getting ready to marry off her daughter..
Why do you cry, my girl?
I've held your hand since you were born
I've helped you get back on your feet everytime you fall
I've made your hair for the plays
So why do you cry today?
I've seen you grow up in front of my eyes
I've wiped your tears when your heart broke
I've given you words of advice when you needed
And I've stayed quiet when you didn't
Today, after all these years, why do you cry again?
Is it because of the fear of letting go?
Or, are you too anxious of what the future holds?
I know it's hard for you to join a new family
It's harder for me to watch you go
But let these tears be of joy, my girl
For you are being gifted a new life
A chance to be a partner, a mother
You're being born again, in a new family
This time a new hand will guide you
This time, there will be bigger problems to face
This time, you'll have to the mother
This time, you'll have to answer the innocent questions
And when the time comes, you'll know what to say
When the time comes, you'll be better than I ever was..
So, why do you cry my little girl?
It's time for you to spread your wings and fly
And remember, however grown up you become
You'll always be my little daughter..
:)
