Crocheting Love Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Crocheting Love

Rating: 5.0


Spring left alone and summer is no more,
Both he saw off with tears at the shore,
He is now just melting orange of Wordsworth,
Hands on skies and foot on the earth,

The daughter of sun with a crochet in her hands,
Dressed his bed with comforts of lands,
The father is now old and tired and bent,
Scratches on his face and body with a dent,

He is bidding farewell to the autumn of life,
Count down is sharp and working like a knife,
Ahead of him is a cold winter night,
In the crochet she wrapped, what a lovely sight!

As if her father is no more than an infant,
Crocheting love is a nature's grant,
Forgetting his life time painful dejection,
He slept for dreams with aurora of affection!

Yes a mother's alternate is a loving daughter. A lovely and beautiful poem. I refer Hazrat Bibi Syeda who looked after her father and was called Umme Abiha.
