I Saw Her Poem by Raihana Abdul Jabbar

When she was five,
I saw her first,
Trotting behind her mom,
She was pretty...

When she was ten,
I saw her again,
Buying a candy,
She asked me 'You want one? '...

When she was fifteen,
I saw her mischievous smile,
She dumped an ice cream on my head,
She was fun!

When she was twenty,
I saw her gentle brown eyes,
There gleamed passion,
She was my love...

When she was forty,
I saw her creased face,
She held my hands,
She was my knowing friend...

When she was eighty,
I saw her toothless laugh,
Sharing an old memory with me...
Yes, She is my wife...
