Notes About The Poem

My Gorgeous daughter, Shereen Natalie Ghali

My Sweet Shereen

How is it that you're beautiful
I really do not know
Your dad and I are average
we do not have your glow

Could it be true, some goddess genes
got somehow in the mix
When you walk by, I see the eyes
Of all the men transfix

You've got the curves; you've got the class,
and girl you have appeal
I'm sure those boys who see you near
Just wonder if you're real

I know I'm just a silly mom,
who likes to praise and dote
But when I see you next to me
I cannot help but gloat

This Mama Bear is happy for
her daughter is a Queen
and like her name, she's very sweet
my darling girl, Shereen

Eileen Manassian

Shereen is a Persian name which means "sweet" :)
