COCK CROWS IN MAY FOR ANOOSHA (A Birthday Poem) by Su’eddie Vershima Agema

(for Anoosha Fatima)

The cock crows in some village far away
the signal for the start of a new day

Others yawn away the start of no special time
but one special girl, Anoosha owns today’s chime

The calendar crosses out another date
and she discovers new dreams that can’t wait
hopes of a future that will never die
the sun smiles in its fieriness across the sky
announcing it will be her guide
she smiles back ready for the ride

Anoosha, poet, sweet lady and growing friend
I celebrate you on this day from Africa to the world’s end
always believe in your every dream
and know my faith in you will never slim

So, as we slowly count down the chime of this day
know come what may, we celebrate you this magic wonder of May!

QUICK FACTS: Anoosha is a really lovely poet and she is in only her teens! She’s in high school and leaves me wondering where I would have been if I was half as good as her at her age. She is a delightful spirit and yup, I think loves Miley and some of those cool American teen (some former) wonders! Anoosha is inspiring and is warm.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANOOSHA!
