TO MY DAUGHTER & MY MOTHER


FOUR GENERATIONS.
Daughters are those, who live in your heart,
They are those who are you outside of you,
They try desperately not to be like you,
Yet they simply take on all your traits absent mindedly,
The more you see them,
Being your exact replica,
You wish she was different,
She wishes it too.

A daughter is exclusive,
She understands your pain and anguish,
A daughter sees through your fake laughter,
She wipes your tears with unseen hands,
She cries for you without shedding a tear,
A daughter is proud, of course she is beautiful,
She is your replica, isn't it true?

You simply live your youth once again.
You cannot help loving yourself, can you?
The younger version of you,
More beautiful,
More thoughtful,
More patient,

Trying desperately not to be like you...

Girls will be girls!

Nice photo covering all the generations and of course you have expressed your feelings as a mother and daughter beautifully. But I also have my take on the relationship between a father and daughter. Having two daughters has been the best thing that happened to me.

I agree Subbu, this was from a mother to a daughter, but the feelings are the same from a father to a daughter too, except that she is not a duplicate of her father. But everything else works for the father too.

Gulshan Dhingra I have gone through some of your blogs Varsha Uke Nagpal ji All r really Marvelous and inspiring !
I really loved ur blog "WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY" I quote here a few line from the blog "Life and the joys and beauty of nature are so pure, pristine and in so much abundance. They are available for everyone absolutely free. One only needs to have a little bit of time to look outside and appreciate what we have."

Deepak Chatterjee Hello Varsha, I have heard about you but may never have met. I too am from the SBI family (78 batch, Delhi Circle, imported from Bengal Circle in 85). Just retired as MD of SBI Mutual Fund on 31st Oct. Was supposed to continue post retirement as Advisor, But have decided to call it quits from today!! Have read your blog; thoroughly enjoyed. I am recent blogger: blogging since July 23 this year. Seeing excellent bloggers like you gives me encouragement. I started blogging to take a book on HAPPINESS I have authored to as many people as possible. Do have a look at http://fundamentalhappiness.blogspot.com You will get an idea about the book: "ARE YOU REALLY HAPPY?".
