With prayers of innocence the sweet little girl <br />The smile in her eyes was as if an angel <br />Her round face with beaming radiance <br />Her hairs so done the way that’s casual <br /> <br />For me I know the day when it ends <br />I shall see her no sadder than that <br />In her gloom was the quest of the years <br />Will she see the beloved again in dreams <br /> <br />What is written on the flower lips naïve <br />I cannot leave her in the custody of nature <br />Universal soul might not be that tender <br />I would not have asked eternity for longevity <br /> <br />In growing emotion she saw herself <br />Flying into the clouds up to the skies <br />For some colors than were on the rainbow <br />May I ask her to hold my finger on the walk <br /> <br />We shall catch some butterflies this spring <br />We shall eat black berries in the summer afternoons <br />We shall then sit near the little spring under the tree <br />We shall then gaze into the setting sun for its hues <br />21/7/2009<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-sweet-little-girl/
