“Journey of a daughter”
Earlier when she burns her finger
Used to make lot of fuss at home
Now, even if she burns her hands
Quietly prepares the food
For small reasons
Used to cry a lot
Today, handles complex problems
Silently
Those days, used to fight a lot with friends
Today, longs to meet up with them
Those days, used to roam around the home calling “amma”
Today, smiles on hearing the word “amma”
If she gets up at 8am on holidays, she used to say she is early
Today, if she gets up at 5am also, she says she is late
Used to spend the whole year to fulfill her ambitions
Today, feels lethargic to even buy clothes for herself
Those days, even after lazying around the whole day
Used to say she doesn’t have time
Today, works the whole day
And says she is happy
For the exam at the end of the year
Used to prepare the whole year
Today, every day, without any preparation
Faces many tests
For time immemorial
Lovely Daughter of one home
Mom at another home
I cannot comprehend this journey
An eye opener to all those Parents who have daughters to understand how silently and steadily your little girl has blossomed into a young responsible lady and to all those wonderful girls who accepted this womanhood gracefully and sensibly .
