Sitting with her granddad in the lobby,
She gives smile every time her grandpa asks,
He feels his heart young each time she glances at him,
Today after his retirement he captures her picture,
& has made gamboling with his 2 years old granddaughter his hobby.
She’s an apple of an eye,
Not only for her family but also for the neighbors,
Neighborhood comprising experienced ladies,
Who in spare time stroll towards her,
Hearing her calling their name;
They make faces to make her smile, but
At times, in contrast, feeling frighten she cries;
They ask her to imitate the words they say,
Applying their efforts to make her talk,
But she’s the owner of her will,
Albeit they keep calling her, she giggles,
And runs away wearing a lovely frock.
She’s an apple of an eye,
Especially for her father,
Who has started planning for her education,
Whose eyes are filled already,
With the dreams of grand marriage for her,
He knows the time would pass soon, and,
In coming years he would be left alone,
With the thoughts reminiscent of her childhood,
He feels the meaning of responsibility even more,
Today he is young and understands the concept of the young heart,
He has already decided to lessen his needs,
So that he could spend his hard earned money,
In shopping her dresses & buying her many goodies,
He is ready to give his life for her daughter,
After all she is an apple of an eye for her father.
