I Know A Little Girl Poem by Akhtar Jawad

I Know A Little Girl

Rating: 5.0


I know a little girl who is too innocent
In love and trust she is so much ignorant
That she thinks I can do anything for her,
Things that cannot be done by his father
Things that cannot be done by her mother
Things that cannot be done even by her grandmother.
She thinks that can be done by me not by any other.
Unaware of the limitations of an old man,
What he can't do and what he can.
Old man not much interested in living for many more years,
Her love and trust brings in his eyes white blood called tears,
She forces the old man to raise his hand to the skies
With her love and her trust in his doubtful eyes,
May God give many more years just for her!
For her beautiful sisters and for her handsome brother.
May God bring her up to the age of knowledge!
I shall love to see her in the uniform of a college,
When she learns limitations of a man!
What I can't do for her and what I can,
May she live long and become a lovely grandmother!
She is my granddaughter and I am her grandfather.

This is one of your best poems. It brought tears to my eyes when I read this wonderful write. Very lovingly penned for a granddaughter. Through this poem you have given her an inheritance that no amount of money can buy. Every line of this poem speaks your love for this beautiful girl. I am sure she will become as brilliant as her grandfather for you have raised your hands to the sky for her.
