The Beautiful Face
Your face so beautiful,
enchanted my soul,
The twinkle in your eyes,
the softness in your voice,
the confidence in your gait,
envied by many,
You were born to show the light,
to millions like you,
rotting in the abyss of stubborn and useless traditions,
Yes, you were the daughter, the sister,
the wife, the mother,
Your tender touch, enriching many barren and dry lives!
But your most important identity was you, yourself!
You the person, with your strengths and weaknesses!
You made your own choices in life!
No, you didn’t want to rebel!
But career and love are sacred!
and u were the best judge of your own decisions!
A few thought u were reckless!
But deep inside, you were a child who needed to be pampered,
who needed to be loved, who needed to be assured that she is the most adorable!
Deep inside, you wished you were not the rebel,
you were made out to be,
you wished you didn’t have to tire yourself with an attempt to live
your own life wishfully!
But you would rise above this tiredness very soon,
to continue inspiring many…
to continue enriching others' lives…
and most importantly,
To continue being the UN-ADULTERATED You, the BEAUTIFUL You….
