Poem – A Daughter
When a daughter goes to her in-laws from the stage of her wedding reception does not seems stranger,
But when after taking a meal she takes out her small hanky from her bag instead of using a hanging towel,
She seems like a stranger…..
When she stands at the door of the kitchen unfamiliar
Then she seems like a stranger
When she looks for the glass here and there
Then she seems like a stranger
When she asks how to do laundry
Then she seems like a stranger
When she does not look into the dishes even after the table has been laid
Then she seems like a stranger
When she keeps her gazes while counting money
Then she seems like a stranger
When she laughs at random and tries to show she is more than happy
Then she seems like a stranger
On her returning back
We asked “when would you come again”
She replies “let’s see when I can”
Then she seems like she will be a stranger forever
But after she sits in the car
She secretly tries to dry her tears….
Dedicated to A Daughter…
Just to keep the love
In the house of my father
keep my remembrance
In the minds of the children
And my honor
I am a daughter of this house
Keep my pride adorn always
Dedicated to all married daughter
A journey from A daughter to A mother
From carefree to worrisome
From crying to soothe someone
From being angry to calm
Before she could hide
Now she hides someone
once she makes noise on touching the hot thing
Now she cooks even after getting the burn
once she weeps on small things
Now she bears with the major issues
once she fights with the brother or friends
Now she wishes to just talk to them
once she says mother again and again and plays
Now she smiles softly if she hears a mother
Staying up at 10 means it was early
Now at 7, it got late
once she cares only about herself
Now she desires to buy a single dress for herself
She does nothing all day but says I am busy
Now she does everything but still an idle
She reads for an exam throughout the year
Now she is tested unprepared
When a daughter transforms
In the journey of a motherhood
