Opposite a Qazi I see you sitting <br />A memorial day I may say befitting. <br />Along with you is one offering his life <br />Who asks me to make you his wife. <br /> <br />Herein I see a pretty new born <br />Anxious day I have at bull's horn. <br />Then a bundle of joy seen at the birth <br />And I promised her true love on Earth. <br /> <br />A dashing young lady at the mart <br />Strong willed girl close to my Heart. <br />So timid, so tender and so warm <br />Confused now of the new life harm. <br /> <br />Reflecting discussions on her youthful years <br />Fatima, her mother, had few congenial fears. <br />Those were times of joy and sometimes tears <br />For her darling mom nothing was as it appears. <br /> <br />Now together I am on your marriage day <br />I hug you. I kiss you and gently walk away. <br />How much I love, you may not realize <br />The answer is in your Daddy's eyes.<br /><br />Syed Anwar Yarkhan Jilani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/daughter-s-marriage/
