She Lives His Dream

She Lives His Dream

She sits in front of the mirror,

Being adorned and beautified.

She hears voices laughing,

They are from her childhood.
Voluntarily, her eyelids come together,
She sees her hero, her friend.
She walks the ramp, feet jittering,
And feels a kiss on her forehead.
She struggles to deliver her dialogues on set,
A smile eases the exigent demands.
They call her on stage,
To applaud her, to shower her with trophies,
To adorn her with accolades.
Her soul trembling, she misses him,
She misses his warmth, his heart beat.
And yet she smiles, like him,
For she feels his arms around her.
He is with her always, her father,
For she lives his dream.
