Daughters

by Alka Agarwal

Daughters are like beautiful flowers
They must be nourished with attention
As a single stroke may
destroy their beauty forever.

Daughters are like real pearls
They must be treated with love
As a little anger may
steal away their innocence forever.

Daughters are like dew drops
They must be looked after with care
As a small shock may
risk their safety forever.

Daughters are like images
They must be kept in memory with passion
As their separation may
create a void in life forever.

Daughters are like Goddesses
They must be given birth with pride
As their murder in womb may
end the existence of men forever.
