Daughters !! (dedicated to all the girls who can be ur sis, ur friend, ur mother,ur wife or ur beloved.. )



PART I :


I was born as a girl, and was treated as a pearl.

As i opened my eyes , the very first time.

everybody were looking at me with the joyous smile.

i didn't knew that time what was going on,

was it like everything around me being newly drawn ?


i am my dad's princess and my mom's angel,

always protected even from yukky brinjal. :P

but i don' understand the reason for their worries,

is it something they'r hiding by telling me some stories ?


now i'v grown up as a teen, and have turned a bit mean.

froks replaced with skirts, piggybank replaced by purse.

but still i see them in lots of worry,

who cares as of now, since i am in a hurry.


It is this day that has come,

which makes me little num(b),

Its hard for me to believe,

is it time for me to leave ?


Why can't i stay with you father ?

why can't i remain your baby princess ?

why you sending me to a space,

where some stranger will take your place ?


how will i hug you mother, can't we remain the same ?

i just don't want to miss you mother, by crying holding your photo frame.

i know you love me so much, then why you sending me away ?

you know u can't live without me, so why can't i just stay ?


With the burden of responsibilities, who will see a child in me ?

Will my mistakes be forgiven, as it earlier used to be ?

Holding your hand, strolling over land, making castles with you dad by using sand.

I wish those days would had never end,

I wish its a dream which i can never attend.


Why is it that the daughters, are bound to leave there home ?

can't we stay with the old lady, who once carried us in there womb.

don't we have same feelings, of pain in seperation ?

while we are heavily crying, look others' happy in preparation.

  3. jitin,

    good one. But, remember you are swimmimg against the tide. This is the momentary feeling of every girl. But, the same girlhappily settles down in blissful married life and that is how life goes on. anand aivalli www.poetfreak.com, anandaivalli@gmail.com
