"Keys"

She sat at the piano with a her fingers posed,
and the beauty flowed out into the keys,
she never once stumbled over the arrangement.
Her desire painted the tunes,
had she chosen a different life,
she wouldn’t have played the song so beautifully.

"My Hero of another kind" - A dedication to my daughter

Eyes, Irises of beauty
Wide and awake, twinkling.
Not of knowing but quizzical,
From the moment I gazed on
your newborn baby face,
I knew I had been blessed with God’s
overflowing gift of grace.

Do you know how much you mean to me?
As you grow into the special being that you will be.
You were born right within,
from just beneath my heart
Its here I hide you always,
Though you swirl right past the years
Growing so first you send me into a whirl.

Oh, how I wish I could stop time
Hold it right where you’re forever,
Alas, this is life’s rush.
But all dreams and goals,
sit before you very near.
As I sing in rhythm of
a mother's heartfelt Love,
Your smiles take away my sorrows and sighs.

My daughter, the love of my life
The world my Oyster,
Earth’s angel, my shiniest pearl
Endless words not enough to capture
the depth of my love for you.
Discoveries at your feet..
Love of life, animals, music, films
Cute little laughs, your cartoons.

Watching, my sweet reflection..
Amazed! Noticing your inner beauty
and individuality.
Sunlight reflecting through your curls,
Humming little unknown tunes,
As you skip about your day..

Night-time, forever in my head
Our nightly rituals, piggy-back rides
en-route to bed.
Wishes, Winnie the Pooh
cuddly big hugs,

A million kisses, lullabies
When you lay down your head to sleep
with little praying whispers,
I thank God each and every day,
asking him to keep a watchful eye on my rare
and unique treasure.

Protecting you always
for you “my little girl”,
I love you so infinitely...
Probably more than you’ll ever know
My hero of another kind.

With all my heart & Love-
Your Mummy

"You’re Mine to Keep" - A father’s love For his daughter on her birthday

Dear Princess of my heart,
I care for you so much,
Loving the fondness in your wide beautiful eyes,
the tenderness in your little touch
Your memories so great,
Bringing me a heart of joy.

A powerful sense of fatherhood,
So innocent and pure
The twinkle of your eyes shines greater than any star,
The smiles you give me, keep my days so bright
I watch and pray as you grow,
Bringing me love and faith,
beauty and grace.

You’re my pride, my unconditional love I pledge,
You’re my sunshine, undivided bond I cherish,
You’re my little angel, my hugs and kisses
I shield you from the ups and downs of the world.

Days in, full of sunshine and bliss,
bike rides and water sports.
Seeing you run and jump,
shouting and calling out my name,
No love that I have ever known,
could ever feel the same.
Nothing can over shadow the bond that we retain

Nights out, watching you sleep
dreaming of things that I can only wonder.
That innocent look upon your face
just makes my heart grow fonder

When I asked God for a flower, He gave me a bouquet
When I asked him for a second, He gave me a day
When I prayed for an angel, he gave me you
My very likeness, he carved you
to the very tip of your nose..

The perfect gift,
because on this very special day of your beginning,
God gave away a gift of love,
from up above so unique and so rare..

May Allah bless you my dearest angel
especially on this day, that marks your birth,
for all the unique ways that you’re
You bring a bit of heaven into my world,
with tender kisses all over my face,
My little princess, you're mine to keep.

With All My Love,
Your Papa~ SRK
