On the occasion of daughters’ day in India, I share the links of poems written for my daughter.

I enjoyed all three poems, depicting a growth in your thoughts and your daughter. Well written poems, all three of them. Most parents go through these phases, where ever in the world they are.

what Sadje says is true, great writing .. but sadly mothers of Indian daughters must have more foreboding than most … so much heartache there!

Oh Punam, I’ve read your 3 links, I am of no use to you at all, my life, only saw me be a step-father of one boy(he’s 53 now), he’s Carole’s lad, unfortunately, due to medical issues, stopped us having children…. I have a sister but she is 13 years younger, so I was already married during her teenage years…… I’m sure your daughter will grow into a wonderful lady like her mum, … Best wishes Punam xx

Punam, I read all three pieces, and see, hear and feel a poet- mother sighing and smiling while observing every single movement of her daughter. Three great pieces with tears, smiles, sighs and sigh of reliefs!! π

Enjoyed all the three poems Punam. So well could relate to those feelings, words of caution fears and apprehension with regards to the growing years of your daughter, as I have one too β€οΈ
