Father
One day, a loving father
bought a peculiar machine
for his loving daughter
so that she could produce good dreams,
The other day, the tender father
Bought an invisible brush
For his adoring daughter
So that she could paint her thoughts,
In another day, the caring father
Bought a tiny silver coin
So that she can pour it into the piggy bank
And becomes prosperous in her life,
A day unknown, the devoted father
Bought his own heart
For the fond daughter
but she refused to admit his sacrifices.
