Never thought of your happiness.
Today, I am devastated,
Standing alone in the darkness.
How tough is this for me to realize,
How far you are from me.
Dad ! I knew you made me strong,
To bear the pain of your great loss.
Placing your duties on my shoulder,
You left me alone.
Never thinking,
Your daughter will be impaired without you.
I find myself incompetent,
To take up your task.
I wish, I find a stairway to heaven,
To being you back in my life.
Your smile filled my heart with joy,
I wish to see it once again.
My greatest sorrow today is,
I see you smiling as a Twinkling Star✨.
