Time

Time

 

Click, click, it kept on moving,

Giving me indication how fast life was moving,
Till yesterday I was in different world,

Today it’s a new day, a new world,
From being the princess of my father’s eyes, 
Today I have my own princess filling joy in life,
Once holding finger of my father was pride for me,
Today when she holds mine, I feel alive.

Waiting for holidays was fun,

He took me to places, and told me I am his world,
Then one day a prince came in my life,

I found my world changing and he was all I ever want,
As I got married I saw two different worlds passing my side,
My father was looking at me,

With a teary smile I said good bye.

Prince took me to a new world,

Strange faces were there, and I started it all over, 
Expectations were different,

And I felt like a warrior who was expected to win,
Slowly, slowly, new world became mine; 
Prince gave me reason that made me both smile and cry,
There was love, support was visible,

But my world was missing someone that was I.

One day I felt someone in my womb,

I knew it’s someone special knocking on my door,
Prince smiled, so did I,

I wanted him or her to wait, but I was all wrong,
Finally I heard that cry, she was in my arms,

I saw my father, giving me a long hug, only to say hold her light.

 

With every passing day I found a new me,

I knew I was still searching but she was all I ever needed; 
As the time passed by we grew together,

I learnt more and she made me love her more,
Today as she was going with her own prince,

I realized why my father had that tear in his eyes,
I saw him looking at me, and I knew time has fly,
Once you showed me my world,

Today time has shown me your side.
