Happy Daughter's Day

 Daughters come wrapped in light 

So delicate yet so full in might...

Such tolerance belittling all the pains ..

Such strength that can move mountains ...

Sometimes so loud and  felt very far.  

Sometimes all emotions bottled up in a jar ..

Amidst crisis, the parent's only choice

Giving her back to them with a great  poise

Can vanish your sorrows all at once

Sometimes burdened to behave better than sons..

Can break herself to pieces ,each of which perfectly fits in the norms

Can collect all her fragments and stand strong against all the storms

Defying all the conventions,she can love in her own ways.. 

Even in the darkest night,she lets the light in her eyes ablaze....

Borrowed dreams

Sadly, children dream through their parents’ eyes, Chasing shadows dressed as sunrise. They try so hard to prove them true, Yet the burden feels heavier than they ever knew. Carrying those dreams bends their shoulders low, Calling them their own makes the burden grow. If it was hard for parents, it is harder for their child, Forced into a race they never styled. A trophy to show, a name to display, Yet their own dreams are somewhere brushed away. Amita Joshi

Celebrate mediocrity...

 Knowing so well of the loss  and still going there for a shot... Cheering for achievers freely while  remaining themselves tied in some knots... Hiding the tears of failure to beautify the smile for success of their friends.. Cherishing the opulence of the friends while struggling to meet their own ends  No one notices the depth they hold Little more craft you should have they  are often told... When the peers are shining like a star They are awaiting for the daybreak that too seemed like so far  Looking everyone flying high when remaining in some invisible cage Grace is spelt when a so called mediocre celebrates being called 'average ' Amita Joshi

Confessions to my daughters

How do I live up to the image you see, When the strength you believe in isn’t in me? I wish I were all that you think of me, But only these confessions can set me free. A loser in life, yet I’ve won with you two, Your love pulls me through when I don’t know what to do. Not infinite—my strengths are so few, But my true power lies only in you. One day, you’ll see the limits I hide, I just hope you’ll be kind and stay by my side. Amita Joshi
