THIS POST IS FOR MY DEAREST DAUGHTER WHO IS MY TEACHER AS SHE TAUGHT ME TO BE A MOTHER. SHE IS THE ONE WHO MADE ME GROW INTO A MOTHER AND HER LOVE FOR ME, TRAINED ME TO GIVE HER THE DUES SHE DESERVED SO MUCH. I DEDICATE THIS POST TO HER ON THIS AUSPICIOUS DAY.....TEACHERS' DAY.
I PAMPER MY DAUGHTER NOT WITH CHOCOLATES AND SWEETS.....
BUT BY TREASURING HER IN MY HEARTBEATS.
I DON'T SHOWER HER WITH KISSES ALL THE WHILE.......
BUT UNDERSTAND HER NEEDS BY FLASHING A MATERNAL SMILE.
I DON'T SIT AND TALK TO HER ALL THE TIME.....
YET EVEN WITHOUT CONVERSATION OUR LIFE SEEMS TO RHYME.
I CLEAR AWAY THE RUST THAT GATHERS THROUGH THE DAY.....
AND WELCOME HER HOME IN MY OWN SPECIAL WAY.
PAMPERING HER WITH GIFTS IS SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER DONE....
INSTEAD I HAVE ACTED CLOWNISH TO GIVE HER, HER SHARE OF FUN.
I PAMPERED MY DAUGHTER WITH NO POCKET MONEY......
BUT BY INSTILLING VALUES SWEETER THAN HONEY.
I HAVE TAUGHT HER ABOUT LIFE AND ITS SONG....
HOW TRUTH IS ALWAYS TRIUMPHANT OVER WRONG.
I HAVE NEVER ALLOWED HER TO PARTY THROUGH THE NIGHT.....
YET RESPECTED HER CHOICE WHENEVER SHE BROUGHT TO LIGHT.
I HAVE ALWAYS GIVEN HER FREEDOM UNBOUND.....
COUPLED WITH VALUES TO KEEP IT SOUND.
I KNOW THE CLEAREST ECHOES OF HER FEELINGS....
AND APPRECIATE HER HARMONIOUS DEALINGS.
WHENEVER SHE IS SAD I CHASE HER FEARS AWAY.....
ENSURING IN HER LIFE MUSIC WILL PLAY.
WHEN WE TALK WE DON'T NEED THE VOWELS IN PLACE....
NOR BOTHER FOR SYLLABLES TO BE CROWNED WITH GRACE.
YET WHEN WE CONVERSE TIME STANDS STILL...
AND WITH JOY, EVERYDAY OF HER LIFE I FILL.
