This one is dedicated to you dad:-
I was up in the air with a smile spread all across the face. Gravity pulled me down and I had landed in the world’s most reliable arms. Daddy’s little toddler was the happiest of all.
I loved running across the streets in your shoes. You held my hand and made me walk in those big ones. Daddy taught his girl to carry the weight with a smile.
I ran my life’s first race and won a gold. You shouted my name and jumped all over. Daddy never missed to make his girl proud of her achievements.
It rained heavily that day and I caught cold. You sang me to sleep and took my care. Daddy’s heart cried the most and he couldn’t sleep that night.
Your shoes have started biting me Daddy. Your shivering hands can’t clap for me anymore. The strong me breaks down seeing you weak and silent. No matter how many chapters life closes, I will always need your shoulders to rest my head and breathe.
