Shahana, My Dear Do You Remember Me Poem by Syed Karim

Shahana, my dear do you remember me
I knew you when you were a little girl
As cute as could be
We would chase each other, play hide and seek game
You know Shahana, years later, if I could I would do the same
You loved to take pictures, we would go up on the roof
While Neela would be busy talking to Dadima and stayed aloof
Your questions had questions, always wanted to know
Why does Sun set, what are stars, where does the rainbow go
You would put your arms around me, look straight in my eye
You would say, I will always be your friend, never say good bye
At the end of the day, you would sit on my lap and say
I am tired, may I rest a while, I had a hard day
Dear Shahana, many decades later, I want you to know
I will always remember you as long as my life stays on the go
I pray for you, be happy, stay pretty and forever gay
You are my eternal friend, this I must say
