In Toronto A Bday Celebration 2012 Poem by shirani ibrahim

Time moved on and in the land of the sand dues
I sing the famous unforgettable that annual tune
Suddenly I see the fifteen year old no longer small
But a very precious handsome young man ever so tall
Far away across the Atlantic he spends this day
And I recapture those moments we then shared every day
His face wears that oh so dynamic boyish smile
His sister gels his hair, grooms to his desired style
The tear streaked face now I do so rarely see
But many a caring words a gentle kiss, comforting me
A pleasure a treasure a sense of contentment
As he spread the rainbow of happiness with less dent
Thank you dear grandson for the sunshine in my life
May your journey be blessed with the best and never a strife
Starry days be yours on this your bday with every sunrise
Near or far you will always my best ever special prize!

Happy Bday...Abdullah Sheriff
