To you these verses I give my daughter



To you these verses I give my daughter

In the hope that ..

When tomorrow you shall perhaps truly live

And see me as the I that were

Your memory and it's fragrance of me

Like ancient and delicate China

Be preserved in fossils sweet

And waft into the mind a song...

Terrific and yet so deep

In thine fresco s of fragility

Of a love that's but divine


These verses of mine shall remain-

All but Yours and Mine -

And then you can mull them over

And find the ME in vain

In pages of serendipity and love

A mother never refrained

Beautiful incomparable poetry. But I sense some sadness in it.
Anyhow, the love between a mother and a daughter very beautifully portrayed. Loved it.

Beautiful.
I get to hear something written by a mother for her daughter.
The vice versa does happen otherwise.

Yeah Enchanta..have always wanted to write something about or for my daughter..but it was too overwhelming to pen down..finally this came out..@ D2 in many ways you are very perceptive...perhaps because you are a poet yourself too
