She wants only her father.



She wants only her father

A father and a daughter
went to a village fair.
The little girl was attracted by everything,
from wooden toys to balloons in colour.

It was her dreamland.
Though her legs were going front
as she was attracted by the toys,
her eyes were receded behind.

Suddenly she saw shops of sweet meats.
Water came to her mouth.
But her father refused to give it
and her eyes covered with mists.

Then she saw merry goround.
Ran towards it
and was disheartened as the refusal face of her father was found.

There was lot of jostling,
as the  fair was very crowded.
Suddenly the girl found,
her father was missing.

At first she was sobbing,
then cried with shrill voice
but couldn't find her father
and her heart was throbbing.

Many people came to coax her.
Few came with toys,few with sweets.
But now she refused everything.
As at any cost she needed her father.
