Thinking of You

I held onto you tight
And stayed close to you.
They pulled out their guns
As we slowly backed away.
Then one of them said,
“Wait, we want you to stay.”
I could feel my heart pounding,
I wanted to cry,
All I could think was
I don’t want to die.

What happened next,
I don’t even know.
It all happened so fast
But yet so slow.
The next thing I knew
You were lying at my feet.
They walked away laughing
And left you in the street.
I fell to my knees
And I held you close.
My tears dampened your hair
And your blood stained my clothes
I cried and cried
Hoping you’d come back to me,
But you just lied in my arms,
As lifeless as can be.

No one came
NO one even cared.
I screamed to God,
“Why couldn’t you have been spared?”
Now I’m getting to the end
Of my long sad poem.
I hope you’re happen
In your heavenly home
Always remember
Our love is true
And wherever you are


I’ll be thinking of you.

Tears

When I see her tears, her pain why do I ache in here? Is this justice? If the burden of both tears and pain were her, what justice would that be? Were her tears and her pain to be mine, justice would be done The tears welled up from her heart. I made her cry.  When her tears stream down here why do I ache in here? She says I don’t understand anything.  If I never understood anything, How come I understand what I am and what she is ?

Project Akhirah

This week I had the honor of learning more about a new Non profit organization still in its early stages yet has been successful beyond words; this charity is called Project Akhirah. A very close friend and sister of mine, Amina Farah, first reached out to me to discuss Project Akhirah and her volunteer work with this incredible organization. Project Akhirah is very new and thriving and looking to get the word out of what their organization wishes to accomplish. I decided why not write a blog! I’m always looking for reasons to sit back and type away. Project Akhirah is a Non profit organization set up in 2013 by a group of young Muslimahs’ in hopes of making a difference in the lives of the less fortunate, those whose lives are laden with poverty and suffering.  However each of the girls were personally affected by the crisis in Syria in particular and felt it a responsibility to help towards this cause. As a group they had made pledges to raise enough funds to donate to the ...

In Laws

This is absolutely ridiculous! Of all the days to be stuck in traffic it had to be today. I still needed to get home and start on the desserts. After two weeks of planning a sensational menu, taking meticulous notes, going through the shopping list countless times, I’d forgotten the most important ingredient, icing. I’m normally very calm and collected but for some reason since I’d woken up this morning I had this horrible knot in my tummy. My husband and I were meeting the girl our son, Jai, was wishing to spend the rest of his life with. After a year of courtship he’d finally come to us to declare his love and wishes to marry the girl. We’d decided it’d be best if both families met and took it from there and they were coming today!  The knucklehead in front of me was beeping his horn for probably the tenth time in the last ten minutes with no avail. After switching on the radio to traffic news this 10 mile traffic jam made sense. There had been a two car accident up ahead,...
