Daughter's Day. Poem by Bishnupada Sethi

It was a music
Soft and subtle,
The early morning rains sang
To the tunes of gentle breeze
While the humming bees added rhymes.
A celestial fragrance was wafting all around
To the charms of drifting clouds.
The sky was overcast.
The Sun rays were peeping in
From behind.
A stage was set
For someone to arrive.

It has been since then
The non stop music-
Quite an essence of my life
Being played ceaselessly.
I draw inspiration-
How is someone
So little yet so wise!
She judges-
What I should do
And should not.
In the difficult moments
She comes in between
Like a shield
The trouble and me-
So soft and yet so strong
Like the silk threads.
She exerts an influence-
As one needs air
So she is there.

How lucky
Have I been
To have a daughter
Lively and pretty!
She is a blessing
From the heavens-
Cheering all the way
And making a life so full.
