My Treasure.


"No one in this world can love a girl more than her father" I had once read.  He holds you in his arms only for a while but treasures you in his heart for ever and ever. It is not easy for a father to let go of his little princess to someone he doesn't know... And yet he does! With a heart as heavy as lead,  he bestows his fortune to someone else. I saw it in my Dad's eyes when we were on the way to The Marriage Court as I dressed in my bridal attire giggled and he silently wiped off a tear, unknown to all others... Suddenly,  "my daddy strongest" seemed to have turned into this child who is reluctant to give away his treasured possession! 

Here is something he must have thought! 

My Treasure...

It seems like just yesterday that I held her in my arms,
I cuddled and she giggled,
The soft pink palms touched my skin and a soft wet kiss on my cheek...
The tear that rolled as she took her first shot,
Maybe it hurt me more than it hurt her...
The baby smell still fills my nostrils and spreads through my veins,
The skinned knees still makes my heart bleed...
She held my finger as she took her first step 
And now I give her hand to an outsider...
To someone who is a perfect stranger...
They convince me that she was his treasure that I had just guarded over the years...
My heart refuses that!
She is my treasure, She is and will be Mine!
