Dear Well Wishers

All my dear well-wishers,

My aunts, my uncles,

Mummy, daddy and dear Grandma,

Please don’t dismay,

I am aware of what you wish for,

I hear you when you say,

That I have to be a good girl!!!

Keep my shirt buttoned up,

My dress below my knees,

No laughing out loud,

No climbing trees,

Stay away from cricket and hockey,

Play with teddy bears and Barbie,

But I beg you all to understand,

I have to be true to who I am,

I cannot be your definition of me,

I have to follow my heart,

I must soar free,

And so….,

I will be jumping in puddles,
