Happy Bday Sweet Sixteen Maria Sherrif Poem by shirani ibrahim

A gentle kiss... with a happy bday to the sweetest sixteen
The sky will soon darken and the stars will brightly twinkle
Vaguely lit by the moon of Autumn as colored leaves sprinkle,
Her long veiled eyes drifts gently to distance, she barely can see
As the breeze murmurs a s...ong with a splendour so lovingly
A melody of serenity fills the silence of the light fading sky
A life filled with tenderness and the years did really rush by
The branches of happiness kept growing never did run dry
As Marie touches sixteen her youthful face flashes a radiant smile
'Happy bday' my lips touched her 'flower soft' tanned cheeks
An adult journey begins as she with liveliness innocently seeks·
The sun rises another day, another year she stands to face
As she sets sail with dignity in life's tedious rocky race.
