By Aladdin Qatawneh

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

To you, To no one else but youTo the one,to the angel of delight, to an angel called reemYet, yet you still young!You're still charming!And you're still so sweetAs sweet as a wild cherry tree, like soft wind--Dancing with little bird's feathers on a treeSweet like Adam's apple which started everythingAnd brought us here.You are 20!,It's a nice age for you to beYet you're still an expert in life,But soon you will be ahead no doubt to meYet you're still a phantom of delight when--You first gleamed upon my sightYet, I respect your mind, your pride, how bright you are,And your wisdom too.You born an angel, with an angel's laugh,& angel's glowYou have always been an angel, you are still an angel, And you will always be an angel,angel at 20 that's what you are! with lots a head for you to see & be.
