In My Daughter's Eyes. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

In My Daughter's Eyes.

Rating: 5.0


In my daughter’s eyes,
I am a hero, strong and wise,
and I know no fear.

But the truth is that
I see who I want to be
in my daughter’s eyes.

My child shall remember me
for the feeling that I cherished her.
The material possessions
are trivial when you love.

A mother’s love for her child
is like nothing else in the world.
It’s fierce, forever protective.
It will not allow anything
to stand in its path.

children see and observe what their elders do and they want to do the same... their first hero in their life is their father and mother a loving figure.... from whom they can demand their love and care at anytime, anywhere... no matter what happens! ! !

It is so true. The word 'hero' is so apt. And for a mother the love for her daughter is 'fierce' so much depth in these lines. When we love someone truly, you will not let anything stand in their path. This is a noble thought. You let go because of the love you have.
