My Only Icon Poem by HAKAM ABUBAKAR

I cherish being born by you

I cherish the day daddy took you

To the alter, and promised

being with you

For the days ahead, for a lifetime.



I fervidly love you and all about you

I' m grateful to my Deity

For giving me the gaiety of having

you around.



i thank Rasoulallah for guiding me

To find the support of Allah

From having your support

In the years and moments to be.



i thank you owner of my being

For the care offered me therein

In your womb, the world you created for me

And always wanting my comfort to see.



i draw my inspiration from what inspires you

My hope is restored by what for me you do

I thank you for blessing me in my life's journey

And helping me to stand out among many.



Emblem of joy and rapture

My only icon of today and the future

Your son has gone gaga in your love

And wishes every happiness you would have.



Gracious Lord! Creator of my only icon

Have mercy on her on and on

Like she did for me when i was in the

cradle

Free her from every coming trouble.



Accept mummy's hearty worship to You

Rain Your blessings in all she sets out to do

Be pleased with her always

Make Jannatul Firdaws her abode

In the hereafter days.
