बिखरी डायरी

I had to grow up far too soon,
Hiding my tears behind a smile of noon.
At a young age I learned to bear,
Others’ burdens, their pain and care.

Without you, the world feels bare,
Without you, no joy feels fair.
Even without you, I just try to smile,
But hide my emptiness all the while.

Your voice still echoes in my ear,
Your prayers still show the path so clear.
Your memory is the strength I hold,
Your blessings shine like purest gold.

You were my only guide,
I know your gaze still follows me from the other side.
Yet in your love, I still survive,
In your light, my soul stays alive.
