When I leave home
and you are mostly sleeping
in you lovely pajamas
with teddy bear or bunny prints,
totally oblivious to the world around
and totally innocent to
fear and worries that the life ahead invariably presents
and I kiss you on the forehead,
which is responded by
a sweet pout on the sweet lips,
which turns into a smile on the corners
before fading away,
Do you in your dreams
feel a connection
to a father who grows old
as his daughter grows young
And as Wise Euripides said
Nothing pleases a father growing old
than the daughter,
Do you in you dreams of Pink bears and green elephants
realize what Euripides meant
and what you mean to me?
