A PRAYER FOR DAUGHTER

A PRAYER FOR DAUGHTER

She is passing through
That glorious phase of life
When days are golden 
And silvery are nights.

When bloom comes on cheeks
Beholding herself in mirror
And a pride starts
Gleaming in eyes.

When mind longs for
Gathering stars in lap
And all merry colors of 
Spring of life.
Absorbed in rainbow dreams
Ignores real life
.
When she wishes 
To flutter in orchid
With an arrogant
Flight of butterfly

When she wishes
To measure sky
With aspirant wings,
Like kite.
Wants to fly
 High and high

When every minute detail
Of mind
Is shared with buddy
And feels that 
She can tackle
Every puzzle of life


But, that innocent girl
Does not have any notion
Of reality of  life

A kite can not soar high
Till someone holds its string
Butterfly can not flutter wings
Fearlessly in orchid
Image of rainbow 
Also fades
Minute details shared with buddy
Sometime pave way to woe.

Only our own thoughts
Create a  paradise of 
Gleaming, golden days 
And star studded nights.

O! God, I pray thee
Save her innocence
Protect her from
Merciless winds of time
Don't ever, let her face
Disillusionment of rainbow
Ornament her life with
With colors of faith
Let true happiness 
Fetch her glow.
