Daddy's Girl.

This poem is about a daughter talking about her father and the relationship Tay they finally shared.

Daddy's Girl.

I remember the day, he came to know about me,
He jumped,he rejoiced, he exclaimed in Glee.
I remember the name, he decided for me,
It had a L, an U, an A and a P.
I remember the day I heard him tell you,
He would admit me to the best school among few,
"The all boys' school, the best in town,
My son will study there", he said with an elevated frown.

I remember the day, you were pushing me out,
I remember your labour, your pain and shout.
And then I remember him, sink down at my sight.
Disappointed eyes, head hung low, muscles tight.

And then I remember nothing but blank,
When I woke up, I remember myself lying by a dirty tank.
A whole day had passed, since I was hungry and cold,
Stray dogs licked me I was incubated by the mold.
Last I remember, dozens of flies hovering over my caracass,
Eagles, vultures ,jackels digging into my bone and mass.

I fought to live, fought to survive,
But not far my premature body could survive.
A matyr's farewell, from this world where from men hail.
My only fault? I was born a female.

This makes me mad, as well as sad. All babies should be celebrated. It sickens me that there are some who only want male babies. There is a lot of educating that needs to take place. We still live in a world dominated by the opinions and beliefs of men. A hard hitting poem.

Thanks for the Reveiw. Sure I believe women are no less than men. I am a believer. Yet there are places where this happens sadly. Your feedback is invaluable. Thanks again.

This really sits in the heart! The soothing shadow of life is parents...and if that one moves away by its own what you've left to do...nothing but hug the end!
Extremely well penned!
