The date was 19.1.19 when one of the turning point of my life happened.It was the expected thing from the expected person but was happened in an unexpected way and ofcourse in an unexpected time.
The thing was to reveal my love.
The person whom I wanted to convey was my dad.
But that unexpected time and way has now become the best of my recollection.
I can say it's the perfect moment to recollect my first poem dedicated to the one who gave me a life in this beautiful world. Maybe you can consider this poem as a proposal for my dad. Perhaps that's a fact. Yes, it is.
"SHE IS A CAGED BIRD UNDER THE FREEDOM OF HER DAD"
To her pride and
To her friend's envy
She has the God given gift - The Best Dad.
To her pleasure and
To her life's treasure
She is blessed with the boon - The Best Dad.
During her childhood
He taught her to walk
And how to talk
He played with her and
Made her comprehend the game.
During her adulthood
He guides her to comprehend the society
And gives her the maturity
He lets her play in the world and
Watches the game with diligence.
He cares like s mother when she's ill;
He guides like a teacher when she's in confusion ;
When she commits a mistake,
He still stands by her side and correct that.
He lets her decide to set her goal.
She gets everything at each stage
No one in this world can equal her dad
That frightens her as she reaches her age
To the world, he is her dad
For her, he is her world.
She doesn't know how much goodness
Hath she done in her previous birth.
God rewards her with lots of kindness
To have the double blessed love on this Earth.
One from his father and another from 'him'.
She thought no love can equate
Her father's - Until shr met him
There's something special in his eyes
That often tells her not to worry
Everything is going to be nice.
He may not be her dream boy,
But words can't explain her coy.
When he is near
She automatically gets some fear.
That fear - Is it love?
She asked herself confusingly
Her mind says - No, it's not;
Her heart says - Yes, it is !
But both never allow her
To approach her dad.
That time she really gone mad,
As she never ever had hidden
Anything from her dad
What made her to fear - to hide - to be confused ?
Why can't she open up her heart ?
Her father has given her enough maturity
To choose her own way of life
And 'he' has given her the hope that
She'll get her father's love as with wife
And God has given her the right person.
If he's able to show
Twenty years of her father's love,
Why not will he become her soul - mate ?
But still, SHE IS A CAGED BIRD,
UNDER THE FREEDOM OF HER DAD.
Her heart is in the cage and
The key is in her dad's hand.
If he has the hope that -
His bird will never go wrong,
Open the Cage and let the bird fly !
Don't be afraid ! Surely it won't fly
It just wishes to add some other birds
From another beautiful family's nest.
And the ' love birds' word hard
For both the family's rest.
' Without the feather
A bird can't fly ' - And
' Without her father,
She can't get the sky'.
- Your lovable daughter
And yeah ! Finally the day came when I had to give this poem to my dad.
Though I had the hope, something had made me discomfort. I was thinking how could I give this letter? What may be his reaction? Will he be pleased with this or gets disappointed? My heart started to pump fast and I was sweating. I started to cry like a baby.
Whenever I feel bad
I need my dad
His face and embrace
Are my only solace
The words that came from him at that moment were simply great.
He took me to the beach and said, " I didn't want to know about my daughter from anyone else. "
What else was needed? I gave that poem and said him everything about my love. He didn't ask me further. He just pampered me and get me back home.
My confusion was cleared after I have seen that he put that letter safely behind the Ganesh statue. He has accepted my love. He has opened the cage but whenever I recollect the hope he has on me, I feel like I'm still a caged bird under the freedom of his love. It'll remain the same forever.
