Description
Poem **Daddy's Princess** You are here but not near An illusion, that with a touch shall disappear Connected by a thread, frail and long That shall remain, when you are gone A smile changes everything Eliminating any emerging dots of discontent But the eyes cannot lie They speak loudly and tend to be vent ''Daddy's Princess'' What does this mean? You are royalty And you're Mom the Queen? Wrapped in shrouds of endearment, Spoiled meticulously with luxury, Smile tearing at the world, And becoming target of vicious storms of envy? And why should not there be envy? When the princess has been brought up this gingerly? Not a single, pristine crystal allowed to fall from her eyes Disdain or despair she never knew to everyone's surprise Yet one must assess The Practicality of Dreams Things do not live on forever As each ruefully sails through life's hesitant streams You are here, but not near An illusion that with the touch shall disappear Connected by a thread, frail and long, That still will be there when you are gone Death is inevitable and should Be sung as a remembrance song ''There shall be no princess, when you are gone......'' **By Hareem Fatima** **The Flower of Light**
