Dad's Lil Girl...!
She was lost
in her thoughts ,
blank in her
eyes ,
broken in her
dreams,
crumpled in
her life.
still managing
to stand bold upfront
expecting fate
to turn right
after all she
is dad's lil girl
the eyes that
are blank today
once had
dreams to chase in every way,
the thoughts
that are lost today,
once had a
words , joy and may.
Staring
blankly at the hospital wall
unknowingly
fidgeting with the cancer tumour,
behind the
oxygen mask
counting her
breath on heartbeat monitor.
Dad's lil girl
holded his hand
who was trying
hard to be strong
and said
something that broke him down
'"Daddy
cuts and wounds ,bumps and bruises
required all
your love,
then how this
cancer ran so deep
that it can't
be cured even by your love "
Puzzled and
shattered! dad was trying hard
to find answer
in chaos of hospital ward
He said
"my lil princess cancer is a monster
that knows
only to hurt one who is stronger,
its just lump
of tumour that is hollow
which will be
cured only with your smile's shadow "
May be this
was the words that her ears were longing for
because today
she looks more prettier
even with
shaved head.
when she hold
her dad's hand and walk on lane.
