Along the white corridors,
And through the green
Curtains.
A mellifluous cry met my ear.
The surrounding smiled, while
She cried.
A cry which turned into a
Toothless smile.
For it was the beginning
Of a new phase in my life.
While she was held, in the safest arms,
A tiny tear of joy escaped my eye,
As a tiny hand held my index finger.
In no time, she was found with books,
With fellow 12- years olds , learning and living.
A braced tooth smiled in the family portrait.
With another blink of an eye,
She found herself in white coat,
And a stethoscope around her,
Helping families and saving lives.
One fine day, I found myself,
Walking her down the aisle.
Another tear of joy escaped my eye,
As I gave her hand to the one,
That owns my heart.
The journey of life went by,
As I watch from the other side.
A beautiful woman,
Collecting my grandchildren from school.
And then, it was time.
I saw a toothless smile, yet again.
While the surrounding cried, she smiled.
I met her for the first time again.
Stood by me, my loving daughter.
Completing the purpose of life that,
God had on her.
