Grand Daughter

Faheem Jawaid

My granddaughter of 1& 1/2
Is a true living doll …
Like no other in the world

When she laughs
Flowers of my garden gaze
When she walks
The soft, gentle breeze stops
When she plays
The birds dance and sing

Whatever she wears
Soft, silky, glossy dress
Become invaluable, precious

She is a true living-doll …
Came to our world
To fill the space, emptiness
Of our existence
