A Lily of A Day
It is Not Growing Like a Tree
It is not growing like a tree
In bulk, Doth make man better be;
Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,
To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:
A lily of a day
Is fairer far in May
Although it fall and die that night;
It was the plant and flower of light.
In small proportion we just beauties see;
And in short measure, life may perfect be.
This poem remembers me a great person.
She is white as a lily, and green as a tree in her short life.
She grew up by the most complete person who is her father. But not in a bulk, in the flower land of God.
She is the daughter of our prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him)
She is a gift of God to him and the world. She had a short life of a lily but is great as a hugest tree.
Her name is Fatima Zahra. Fatima means absolute cleanness and Zahra means brilliant. She is the brightest female star in the blue sky of Islam.
In her small life she was a sample of complete woman and God remember her as a sample for all the women and mother in all ages.
When her great father died, some people who did not knew the light ignored her father’s advises about her values and stepped on her flower bed and injured the White Lily.
She was only 18 years old when they attacked her and broken her branches
She belongs to theheaven and backs to there…

Years pass one after each other and now Muslims call her birthday’s day as the “Mother and Woman day” but yet people could not understand the whole values of her. The grave of her is hidden because of her enemies.
...And we are waiting for his son to show us that Unknown
Heaven and take a revenge of her murderer…….
