As The Heavens Smiled Poem by shirani ibrahim

Thank God for everything

Now that I am middleaged and almost gray and full of sleep,
I slowly tread on dreams of the forgotten, a softness so deep
Of the teenage days and moments that was so forbid
Waiting for the last train I lend myself to my lovely grand kids
Treasured days of good perfect grace and counted the hours,
To climb over mountains wade through storms to make it ours
Vastness of the seas and the volumes of the blue skies
Shadowed not my hope but cultivated various endless tries
Many unshed unseen tears of life now gently tucked away,
Renews the moment's of once morea memory of ‘yesterday'
Nights now filled with many years of unheard musical glory
Radiant beyond explanation,tell love's ancient story,history.
MY love will always travel, be in the places wherever they roam
As I sit at school, at home solitarily, awaiting your returnhome
Always at their side, no matter whatever they do or wherever they go:
Happiness they made to survive tides masterly, silently through
Into my heart they walked with hopes, great a famly and a loyal friend
Now reasons and time tells me the journey is blessed Ameen till the end,
The sail was rough but we maintained a dignified majestic fleet
Thank God for their strength that we shared and never made me a retreat..
Kids Gkids are far more dear to me than spoken words can tell
The time has dawned for me to see my real heaven or hell!
each dawning anniversarybraved many a rough sailing days……
