Roots and wings
My daughter is growing up fast. I am counting the years before she is ready to leave us. I want somehow to stop the clock; there are just so many things that I want to do with her. Since I cannot stop time, I would like to give the best of myself to my daughter in the remaining time I have. Each moment seems precious. I long to spend her after school hours with her. Help her with her projects and homework. Watch some good movies with her. Go and help her explore the beautiful and wonderful world around.Help her with her poems, listen to her songs, compliment her drawings. Tell her about Aung san Su Ki, Margaret Thatcher Mother Teresa, Florence Nightingale, Marie Curie and the constellation of great women who have impacted the world. I want her to be ready when she steps out into the world on her own. Ready to have her roots deep down and wings ready for soaring the heavens. Here's a song from Abba, which conveys my feelings, as I watch my daughter grow.
