The child who was killed by her father for being a "girl"-
Searched her mother's hand at the time of her last breath!
The girl who was married forcefully by her father-
Cried whole night in her mother's lap!
The child who saw his friends playing with their fathers,
Grasped his divorcee mom with tearful eyes!
The child who knew his father had died before his birth-
Imagined a "father" but failed at last!
The depressed girl who saw her mom with another man-
Hated her own father more and more!
To those "exceptionals", father is just a word, nothing more!
When everybody celebrates the "Fathers' day"
Single moms' smiles erase all tears of little cheeks!
