My Daughter Has Learnt To Walk

Disengaging herself from my finger
My daughter today has taken her first step.
She has learnt to walk!

She indeed has learnt to walk
on paths that show mile stones
road signs and street names.
Read? Indeed, she has
Learnt symbols and ciphers.
Lights -  red and yellow and green …
Their colours and tints
She has learnt the secrets of all that lies around.
The vehicle, its wheels
And their connection with the road
She has learnt it all.
She has learnt to forge ahead
On wayward and tangled paths.

My daughter has – Glory be!
Learnt to fill with colours
of her own choice
All the empty spaces in the world map!
