My Daughter Came Home! ! Poem by Ravi Upadhye

Last evening
I set out on a drive
With Anuja-my daughter by my side

Her arrival
Had set a million strings
Strummimg in my heart

Lost in my monotony
I needed a young company
To bring smiles in my lonely home

Simple acts of talking
Wishing her Good Morning
And cooking together
Set the mood

And to celebrate together
Mother nature joined us
Nearby hills and the peaks
Played hide and seek

With clouds, showers
Sunshine, drizzles
And in the end
Gave us the rainbows

Not one but two
To last me
Till she comes again
