Abdullah Sherrif Enters Teen Kingdom Poem by shirani ibrahim

Growing up is hard and the challenges you meet harder,
You are my strong young lad, wise and interesting with laughter.
A loyal shoulder to rest my weary head, you did lovingly lend
Your untiring effort with a smile, you reached to me as a friend.
Now our days of fun filled with happiness soon will cease to be..
But my duty as a granma i will not shirk and thats a certainty.
Emotionally, psychologically, physically, a man soon you will be.
The teen kingdom will be paved with confusion, in today's society.
Fill your days with the fragrance of sincerity honesty and dignity
Life is just not what happens but how you handle it matters, honorably
Scattering sweetness of trust flowering with love and faith intelligently
to keep a sail on your structured fleet with its passengers majestically
