A Letter Dedicated to My Daughter

14 March, 1985

When you were born,

Apart was I torn…………

Named you an ugly tadpole

But then you were my foal .

 I watched you grow everyday

I heard myself silently pray

Let my daughter’s inner beauty

Mesmerise the outer world

And the thought itself sent me swirl,
The refinement and the attraction grew

All my misconceptions I threw

Do you know how much you mean to me?
As you grow into what you will be.
 From just beneath my heart
 Stupefied, I knew your own life will now start.

 Sometimes to you I seem harsh and so unfair,
but one day you will see, I taught you well because I care
With a chuckle and a smile, and your years so quickly to fly, 

 I had a bag full of tears to cry.
As you begin your growth to womanhood, wherever  you go
You'll always be my source of admiration, a fact you must know
 Within you feel no fear, standing by your convictions

staying upright and honest , will find you no restrictions

 Sitting  before you are your dreams and  ambitions
Take the world by its tail, and fulfill your mission
On your 29^th Birthday my beautiful dove,
do------ accept your Mother's ever heartfelt Love !
