The Day I Heard My First Baby Cry 4th Feb 1975 Poem by shirani ibrahim

The happiest hour, one of the most happiest day,

My heart did see when you were born this day.

I laid a gentle kiss upon your sweet tiny brow,

Felt your baby soft fingers and made a vow.

I clasped you tight and felt your angelic baby’s breath,

Visioned, my dream will be seen in you till my death.

Soon you became my starry hope and my greatest pride,

To sail life’s journey and brave every stormy tide.

Years, decades have flown and as a mum you stand today.

Scattering sweet scented fragrance along the way,

You bloomed to be our towering strength, to rise,

The light of our lives it is really, really no surprise.

Your kids dainty steps are like the silvery gleams,

A language that conveys life is more than a dream.

A devotional mother, you blossomed to the kids delight,

And no words can express your strong commitments height.

Dearer to me as you extend your young motherhood to me,

Filling my aching heart with a mother I lost, so mother

May you be blessed with the best from Heavens above

Daughter dear I wish you good health and plenty of love

A happy bday and many more to come with happiness galore

May Every dawning day greet you with pleasant surprise and more

My precious Meli may Allah bless you and your teen kids

And ease your lives in the long long road with no danger.
