My Periwinkle

With her sparkling eyes she asks,

Will you be looking out for me when I fly?

Will you be catching me when I fall from the sky?

Dear Daddy, will you be here for me forever and ever?

 

“Dear daughter, close your eyes and remember,

Yes, you will find me near you forever and ever,

On a dark night when you find a ray of hope,

With every hurdle you jump, and you cope,

After every fall you rise and try harder,

You smile through your tears with a fervour,

You see the sun smiling through the foggy cloud,

You can hear the wind chime amongst the crowd,

You get soaked with a light sprinkle,

And, you find me growing in a pot as your periwinkle.”
