यह लड़की हिल्ली हुई है।

Looking Back       The little girl who rode her Dad’s shoulders       Was happy and carefree as a toddler       But then, she started being told right from wrong       As she grew and the path of life she trudged on. Insecurities and under confidence grew as she learned there were things she couldn’t but her brother could do. It was not for her to question why That’s the way it’s always been so why cry? Get a basic education and be married off The home and hearth is where you’ll be better off Don’t dream too big as you won’t see it through Our society is male dominated and By God that’s true! She wanted to protest but didn’t have the gall To change the way people think was not her call.

Reflections Don't you feel me in the morning breeze? It's me who whispers as I brush past your cheeks. Feel me child as I surround you with love I am with you, not in some heaven above. Sit in stillness and tarry a while, I dance with joy everytime you smile. My child, my love for you knows no bounds, Look with some insight, I am all around. In the birds that sing, In the happy child that swings, In the brook that prances, In the peacock that dances. It's in your heart that I reside. Do put your cares all aside. Trust in me I pray, Your troubles I shall keep at bay. As you awaken and to me you surrender, What you deem your troubles will rest asunder. Wake up my child and look within The answers you seek truly lie therein. Urvashi
