The Days of the Rainbow(father and daughter)

The Days of the Rainbow(father and daughter)

A Poem by Nico
"

the realization of a father that his little girl has grown up and that he must let go.

"

Those were the days of the rainbow
When the winter ended, the good weather came back
And you, with the moon and the stars in your eyes
Felt a hand touching your skin,

And while you went crazy for the scent of the flowers
The night was lit with a thousand colours.


You were lying, little girl, but you got up as a woman

You're stronger and safer, the adventure started
Now they're little girls, old friends
Who meet in a group to play
And still dream on a moon beam.

 

You live your life as an important woman
Because when you were sixteen, you already had a lover
And one day, you'll know that every woman is mature
At the right time and with the right measure.


And in your runaway you'll find love
You'll leave the past behind for better times,

Those were the days of the rainbow
Pictures of that chocolate covered mouth
Forever remain in my mind
Goodbye my little treasure
It's time to have your own rainbow.

"You'll leave the past behind for better times," good words for a growing/gorwn child.
"Pictures of that chocolate covered mouth
Forever remain in my mind"...they stay "little" to us, don't they?
this is a wonderful tribute to a child...lovely imagery and a nice even flow.

The imagery is great in this piece. A little sad, it is hard to let go of our children when they grow up. Wonderfully penned.
