Life had so much to offer,
So many beautiful things.
They got supplanted all
The day you were born.
The apple of my eyes
For a score and three years
Your beautiful smile,
Brought sunshine each and every day.
Along came Prince Charming,
Band, baaja, baraat…
Mother-in-law et al,
Took you away from Dad.
A new family you have,
Fresh challenges beckon you.
The focus of your smile
Has shifted….
But you still are and will be
My most beautiful thing!
Today I’m taking part in the My Most Beautiful Thing Blogsplash to celebrate beautiful things – inspired by Fiona Robyn’s new novel, The Most Beautiful Thing. Bloggers from all over the world are taking part and writing or posting pictures of their most beautiful things today. Find out more here and see everyone else’s blog posts here.
Ramblings 
Isn’t this beautiful!!! God Bless this delightful and beautiful apple of your eye, and her family too 🙂 And her Dad!
I really loved the way you gently unfolded the beauty here. (And I had this huge smile at “band baaja baarat 😀 )
Thanks for your blessings Usha.
The words just flowed, didn’t they? 🙂 Beautiful. Makes me wonder why you don’t write free verse more often.
Yes they did after initial hiccups. I would love to write more Shaila but when I am not sure.
Lovely!
Thanks Fiona.
the words tumbled out from your heart…did they not? wipe your eyes…and know that she will always be Daddy’s girl.
Yes Sumana they did..
I know how much she means to you Vi, but you have not lost the apple of your eye:-)
I love this poem!
Sheer beauty!!
