Tiara smiles at the sky

She sees the vivid rainbow arched across the sky
On one end there sat you; at the other, there sat I
So many stories I’ve waited to tell our little child
She thinks you are gone… Yes, to her I’ve lied...

Of years, that I had dreamed to be in your soothing arms
I hold our little Tiara, with the same caress and the charm
I look in her eyes as she looks into mine
We smile like everything was perfectly fine

The so many of our ‘I love you’s left unsaid
I sing Tiara our halcyon songs to put her to bed
Unkempt promises to be always by my side
Not quite sure, if I’ll ever forgive you in this life

The unfinished schmoozes, the tears uncried
Shattered dreams, and those zillion things untried
May be time has healed our broken hearts;
With hugs and smiles in parcels and parts

But there’s a vacuum in Tiara’s life
I try my best amidst this strife
Yet she stays up every night looking at the bright star
Expecting her father to come back from the land very far

True, its me who said I had to go
I wish you had not let me do so...

Tiara again smiled up today at the sky
I wondered how far her loving smile would go...
This time it slid right over to the other side...
And reached the other end of the colored rainbow...
