A little crafty endeavor to mark Independence Day (Idea courtesy: Deccan Herald)
Dearest Ira
Happy 75th Independence Day!
As we celebrate this special day, read about the freedom struggles and be thankful for what we have, here are little thoughts on this big word, Independence
You assert your independence when you....
Share your thoughts with us, unfiltered
Eat what you want, with glee
Dream the path of your choice, unhindered
Choose the love of your life, with fierceness
Sing and dance in front of the mirror, uninhibited
Draw a rainbow hairstyle on the figurine, with pride
Speak what's on your mind, unabashedly
Walk away from the norm, with little heed
When you stand up for self and say 'No', unhesitatingly
Read books, write stories, make random crafts, sleep, eat and repeat the same, with happiness
Fail, fall and learn to rise, unscathed
Be yourself and dance to your own tune, with courage
Be kind to self before others, unthinkably
Travel the world and be a part of it, with empathy
Wear your adventures on your lips, unlocked
Be that little speck that will shine through, with gratitude
Question every injustice, unshackled
Stand up for what you deem is right, with fearlessness
Go, our little girl, assert your Independence every step of the way!
Love,
Mamma and Papa
