Happy 9th Birthday Zinnia Poem by Dr Shamim Ali

Zinnia, my dear, it's your special day,
Miles away, in a new land you stay,
In the Sultanate of Oman, you spread your wings,
At Al Saud Global School, where new learning begins.

I wish you success as you walk this path,
May your mind be bright, and your heart full of warmth,
Rise and shine, my little star,
Show the world just how special you are.

I miss you deeply, it's hard to describe,
The way your laughter used to fill my life,
Your voice echoes still, calling 'Shin Mommy, '
And it feels like you're right here beside me.

Remember our times at Emen Café,
The chats, the smiles we shared each day,
And at Café Biblio, our little retreat,
Where stories unfolded as our moments did meet.

But now you're exploring, you're growing so fast,
Chasing your dreams, making memories that last,
I send all my love across the seas so blue,
May happiness always walk beside you.

May God bless you with a life long and sweet,
Filled with joy that no one can beat,
With your parents and little sister, Ava, too,
May you find endless wonder in all that you do.

So on this birthday, I send my prayer,
For a future that's bright, beyond compare,
Know that no matter how far you roam,
In my heart, you'll always be home.
