When I first carried her in my arms.
She held my fingers and smiled at me.
She didn't know who I was.
But I take pride in saying my sunshine she is.
When I took her to school,
that first day I can never forget
she was happy to go, but I cried thinking how will she manage when I will not be there.
She soon grew younger and beautiful she looked.
She started going to college and later took up the work she could.
People asked me who is that wonderful child.
I cried out with pride she is my sunshine
As per traditions she has to go to her husband's place
she looked scared but she couldn't tell
I couldn't see her going, my heart was in pain
but I know she is a brave girl, and will take care of her family out there.
Today when I have grown old, I remember the wonderful time we both spent
Those little hands that held my finger, I miss them everyday
She takes care of me as if I am her child
She still hugs me tight saying daddy I am your little sunshine.
- By a proud father 😘😘
