~ Learned ~
It is not what we read,
but what we remember,
that makes us learned
It is not what we intend,
but what we do that makes us useful.
It is not a few faint wishes,
but a life long struggle,
that makes us valiant.

~ Moment In Time ~
We walked,
for a Moment in Time.
You passed through my life and left your mark.
You may never pass my way again,
Or you may stay for a lifetime.
No matter what,
I want to say thank you for the impression you made
that will stay with me for eternity.
I enjoyed the walk,
I enjoyed the talk.
I am blessed for that moment in time.
The moment I know you
I knew you would affect my life,
though your role I did not know.
There is so much I want to know.
I asked myself, "Why him?
When so many people pass through my life each day,
why him? "
What attracts me to you?
What makes me want to know more?
I want to know.
Even if my questions are never answered,
There is one thing I want you to know.
I have been blessed by the effect you had on me in that
Moment in Time.

And in God
I have found everything ....

~ A Matter Of Trust ~
We come to realize there’s only one way,
To meet life’s challenges, as we surely must,
It comes down to one thing, it’s a matter of trust,
We rely on our faith in all that we do,
Without it there’s no hope left for me or you,
Just think on how much , on others we really rely,
Without faith in them, we’d never get by.
Think of the driver of our local bus,
He takes us around without any fuss,
The pilots of planes that fly through the sky,
Without trust in them we never would fly.
The postman each day who delivers the mail,
If there was no one to do that, we’d raise such a wail,
The doctor who treats us when we are ill,
We depend on his knowledge, to prescribe the right pills
Just think for a moment as the days fly on by,
How much on others we we always rely,
We have faith in our cars each day that we drive,
That they’ll transport us quickly, and we safely arrive.
So take time to ponder , whatever we do,
Trust is the element that see’s us get through,;
But above all things else, as through life we plod,
The greatest of all, is to have trust in Allah.

~ Towards The light ~
or starlight,
or in the sun’s bright rays,
I journey,
guiding my way
by keeping to the light
as best I can.
then I remember
how the poppy turns its head,
following the sun’s passage across the sky,
then rests in night’s cool shadows,
bowing in thanks
to the Creator
makes the stalk
stand straight and strong,
drawing deep from its roots
a wine dark love.
the garden glows,
silvering the poppies.
And even by starlight
you can tell shades of darkness
if you try.
when vision dims.
Journey forth
as best you can
bloom when you are able,
rest when you must,
keep your faith,
keep always
towards the light.

~ Tired Of Empty Promises ? ~
To find you've never really been satisfied ?
And you've never really been at peace in your heart
Regardless of the things you have tried.
Perhaps it was money, prestige or relationships
That left you disappointed or betrayed.
Or you've never really felt like you ever fit in
No matter where it was you stayed.
If you're tired of the vain promises
And the pale answers the world offers up,
Let's pray to Allah, ask Him to save you
Then I promise He'll fill your cup.
There's nothing this world can give a person
That could ever substitute or replace
A personal relationship with God
And knowing you're covered by grace.

~ Surrender ~
Oh God I come to You.
I pray that on this day
You’ll help me to get through.
I pray You’ll guide each of my steps
As I live as for You today.
Please give me strength and courage
To live my life Your way.
In the business of the day
I come to You Yaa Allah
I know I get impatient Lord
For I am terribly flawed.
But please Lord take my worries
I give them all to You.
And help me trust You
In everything I do.
In the struggles of the evening
Please help me Lord get through.
Often times I just can’t cope
And I don’t know what to do.
Though storms rage up against me
Don’t let me lose the fight.
For Your strength is all I need
So keep me in your sight.
In the quiet of the night time
Oh Lord I pray to you.
Please protect my family
Each day and each night too.
I ask Lord for Your special touch
To cover us with love.
To keep us safe all through the night
As You watch us from above.

~ I'm Just A Woman ~
In each and every way,
She needs the warmth of loving words
That only you can say.
She needs a lot of understanding …
When she's feeling somewhat down.
She needs for you to make her smile,
And take away her frown.
A woman's heart is fragile
Her feelings are that way too,
Times she feels so sad inside,
Not knowing what to do.
It's hard to be a woman,
Misunderstood in many ways,
Sometimes all it takes to help,
Is a loving word, to make her day.
She needs to know that she's the one,
That fills your heart with desire,
She needs to be told often,
That she sets your soul on fire.
She needs that soft and tender touch
As if she were a fragile rose,
And feel that she's so special.
From all others, you could have chose.
She needs to hear, "I Love you",
Whether close or miles apart,
She needs to know… she's the one,
That's the center of your heart.
So, please listen when I need to talk,
Please kiss away my tears,
Let me share my worries with you,
And help me face my fears.
You see, I'm just a woman.

~ To Be One ~
To Be One ....
Not all love
no matter how strong
gets a chance to have a lifetime
of expression
some love
though it be all powerful
can only shine
in the shortness
of just the smallest time
being a love that’s true
its life force, its shadow
its tune
will live on in the hearts
of those two
that for whatever time
got the honor, the privilege
the pleasure
to be one…

~ Beauty ~
May all beings be filled with joy and peace.
May all beings everywhere, the strong and the weak,
The great and the small, the mean and the powerful,
The short and the long, the subtle and the gross:
May all beings everywhere, seen and unseen,
Dwelling far off or nearby, being or waiting to become:
May all be filled with lasting joy.
Let no one deceive another,
Let no one anywhere despise another,
Let no one out of anger or resentment
Wish suffering on anyone at all.
Just as a mother with her own life
Protects her child, her only child, from harm,
So within yourself
Let grow a boundless love for all creatures.
To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.
Then as we stand or walk, sit or lie down,
As long as we are awake,
Strive for this with a one-pointed mind;
Our life will bring heaven to earth.

~ My Words ~
Not waiting for anyone
Expected nothing, but nothing…
Then noone can no longer disappointment me
My memories I can’t let go
Even If I wanted…
Providing comfort and pain,
In one thought.
My heart to remain broken
Silencing my words
Keeping them to myself
I know noone care for them…
As I remain quiet
It burns my throat
And stings my heart
Are no longer words
Just the past…
And now just thoughts.

~ Unclaimed ... Unloved ~
Lie around unclaimed
The breeze blows me around
To be trampled under the feet of men.
Natures cruel feast has bestowed me with pain
Pain of being a part
Just a part of someone
Pain of departing,
Departing from that one
Pick me up like a rose,
And hold me to your heart
Keep me there till he does not come
And when he comes do a good deed
Dig the earth below
And bury me deep
For I don't want to lie around
Unclaimed, unloved.

~ Fake People ~
They always try to deceive you
And make you think that
they are the real deal
With fake people You can never see the light
Because when you are staring into their eyes
It's always dark and never bright
Fake people are like mirrors
You can see right through them
They are always lying to you
But you already know it's a scam
Fake people are always trying
To be something that they are not
But when you get a good look at them
You realize that they don't look no where near as hot
Fake people think
That they gain a reputation
But in my eyes
They are an embarrassment to the world
They are always trying to convince you
To believe who they say they are
But a fake person can't fool me
Fake people waste time
But they never pay attention
to the time that they are wasting
Only because their minds are always racing
They are always trying to impress you
With things that you never notice
But you wouldn't be impressed
Even if you noticed
People don't like to be lied to
So I think it's better to tell the truth
And to let people see you
for the real you
You have a chance
To be a leader of the pack
And I don't think that things
Can get any better than that
Fake people think
That they can lie to get what they want
But what they want
Doesn't accept false identity
All that they ask for
Is an ounce of simplicity
Fake people think
that when people tell them the truth
they are the enemy
But all they are trying to do
Is mold you into the person they know you can be
Because deep down inside
I know the real you is a star
And I think that it's time for the fake you
And the real you to depart
Trust me
You don't want to go down that road
Because people Don't have to be rocket scientists to know
That a fake person is living in our society
Lucky for us real people
That we have a variety
Fake people think
That they are being real
But there is no real way to be fake
Maybe that will teach them
To put some thought into the decisions
That they make
I will always try to be me
And nobody else
Because if I did
It would be very easy for you to tell
Sometimes fake people Are hard to believe
And they never realize
What the real person within them can achieve
You should rise
From underneath all that clutter
Because there is only one you
And there will never be another
And so the lesson here
Has been discovered
To never become a fake
..........Or you will suffer
