A Gift From God

I am so blessed to have you, my girl,

Both together can a new world unfurl.

You are for me God’s own miracle,

To give birth to you has been my moment most incredible.

 

When I learnt of a new life growing within me,

I prayed to the Almighty to hear my plea.

In a world full of men and their rigid beliefs,

I so wanted a daughter to lessen the grief.

 

A daughter is your soulmate, mirroring your thoughts,

A daughter is the only one joins the emotional dots.

A daughter will be with you when you are in pain.

A daughter with her gentle touch can your heartache drain.

 

Both of us now can traverse the unfair path,

You and me can face the prejudiced and bigotry wrath.

No matter what, I will always have your back, 

Go girl go, do what I could not; do the men’s righteous code crack!
