( Written for What do you see # 212- 13 November, 2023 )
Carrying a personality more than she owns,
Handling a burden more than she can,
Hiding obvious things more than we know,
Walking on the path she must be playing on.
But,
Learning the hardest way, we did not learn,
Growing the fastest way, we did not grow,
Understanding the toughest way, we didn’t do,
Playing a different game than you and me did,
It is the game of life on a different ground…
And with much stringent rules for her…
Carry on Z … you can only win this….
( Z is for all daughters, yours, mine, theirs, at present and even those who have yet to come to this world)
Good afternoon and till later….
