Let me give you a little intro, this is a poem I wrote for my little brother who was 14 at the time. He sent it to a school competition and ended up in a book for student’s poetry called ‘Talkin’ ‘Bout My Generation’. As you will notice its written from a male’s point of view coz my brother was supposed to be the one who wrote it, and it’s supposed to be a kid who talks, but I find it rather cute and I wanted to share it with all of you, Here it is Enjoy

If I ask

by Deema Osman

When you’re around everything is still

If I ask, will you say ‘I will’?

All the guys say I’ve lost my touch

But you’ve become my sugar rush

Sweet on the outside and all the way through

And when you smile there’s no one like you

You are the queen let me be your king

And maybe our future will hold a shinning ring

You are the most precious diamond on the crown

The heartbeat and breath that never lets me down

We will be best friends and valentine lovers

I’ll feel your room with paper hearts and flowers

I’ll buy you the most delicious chocolate bar

And when we’re eighteen your favorite car

I’ll be your guy and I’ll be your man

To make you happy I’ll do all that I can

My friends can say what they want and what they may

Coz you’re the song that fills my day

So if I ask will you say ‘I will’?

Years from now I’ll be waiting still
