Loves Promises

Every night as you sleep,
I check up on you.
I run my fingers through your head,
Wipe away the sweat beads that appear
From being too deep in the covers.
I examine your small fingers,
And kiss everyone.

I’m reminded of the day I first set my eyes on you,
Small and innocent.
When the nurse placed you in my arms,
I was lost,
Lost in my love for you.
You looked at me long and hard,
And then a small smile formed around the sweet corners of your beautiful face.
Slowly your eyes closed,
And you fell into a blissful sleep.
Tears spring to my eyes.

I still couldn’t believe you were mine,
I could not believe you came from me.
And I was amazed and moved that god had shed his grace on me.
I had so many fears,
But they vanished the moment I set my eyes on you.
You are my everything.

I vowed that day to make all your dreams and hopes come true.
Since that winter morning
I have lived every day for you.
And will continue to do so.
Your happiness will be my happiness,
Your dreams will be my dreams.
And I will stay by your side in every conquest you face,
In every heartache you may come against,
I will be your haven to seek solace and comfort in.


These are my promises to 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,...
