“Congratulations,Its a girl.”
“Its a Girl.” Sighed the world,
Now you will have to take care of her,
Just to let her go one day.
But the hands that held her,
Saw the shimmer in her eyes,
For all they knew,that she was their ray of light.
It didn’t matter to them,
If their baby was a him/her,
All they knew was,It was their duty to protect her.
“It’s sad you don’t have a son.” They said,
Who would look after you,
And always stay.
But,the mother who held her,
Knew what a daughter’s love,
Always felt so real even though miles apart.
“Oh,she is fragile and beautiful like a flower,
Keep her locked inside,
Away from the skies.”They said
But,The father who saw his little baby,
Open her tiny eyes,cry and fall asleep,In his huge arms,
Knew that the spark in her eyes could turn into flames and spread.
How could they keep their little angel,
Away from the skies,
For angels are ment to fly high in the sky.
It didn’t matter to them,
What the world had said,
Their little angel,
Completed a little world for them.
Such nice words…wonderfully written. π
That para which describes the little girl as an angel is a masterstroke.

A very lovely poem..real to the core. When my daughter was born, everybody in the family was very happy. One lady (not related) had told me “Don’t worry, next time you’ll have a son.” Not knowing what to say I had just smiled. I just couldn’t get the logic.

Thankyou so much.
At the time I was born,girls weren’t given much education or respect and people used to distinguish between a girl and a boy,but when the parents support their child,their baby can do anything that is possible.
And now the times have changed a lot.π

A wonderful and thought provoking poem… I truly understand. Since we live in a country Third World county – India, more or less, such biases still prevail. Although not very openly expressed these days. Reading your poem makes me feel both happy and sad. At one side I feel empowered considering the thoughts of the parents, but also a little upset with the fact that such things still go on in the underbelly. Hopefully your thoughts help change opinions.
