Though You Have Grown...

Shima...

I remember 25 years ago,
you were so tiny then.
Sometimes,
I can't help but wish,
that you were small again.
I've cried when you've faced heartaches,
and have learned, that as you grew,
you've developed confidence,
and strength of your own.
I'm filled with mixed emotions,
as I hold back all the tears
thinking that the time will come,
when I shall let go of your hands.
When I first held you in my arms,
if only I'd have known,
the years would feel like moments,
after you had grown.
Now..you aren't a child anymore,
though in my eyes,
I guess you'll always be,
that baby girl who had changed my life,
and means the world to me.

A Thank You Note

Some teachers..we love them because of their excellent knowledge
and taught us right from wrong,
Some teachers..we love them because they set good example,
a good model, an icon
Some teachers..we love them because they are friendly
or can even be a shoulder to cry on
Some teachers..we love them because they are sincere,
and never expect any reward
Some teachers..we love them because they are honest
Some teachers..we love them simply because they care
I love all the teachers who have taught me through out the years of my life,
All of you have contributed and are responsible for my achievements
Thank You TEACHERS may Allah bless all of you

But there's one teacher
whose presence I can still feel
whose words of wisdom I can still hear
whose spirit always keeps me strong
who had all the qualities I mentioned above
whom I will always love, respect, treasure and miss..
My Dad..Cikgu Mohd. Sidi,

To My First Born

What you wrote was really awesome..a confession I truely respect..

Why is it always My First Born?..
Coz the first pregnancy had significantly changed my life..
and My First Born certainly has brought me a new, enlightened and joyful life!!!

The bond we created from my womb to the day you were born..
Is a mother and daughter bind that can never be torn

You are as precious as a flower and as gorgeous as a rose

You have been specially made to the very tip of your nose

You are brighter than any star in the sky every time you smile

When times seem too hard to bear & I l feel like giving up..
I vision your beautiful face, the twinkle of your eyes, the first step you made and the first time you called me "Mama"

With the strength and guidance of Allah and the blessings He pours down from above
I want to be the best mom I can be to you and embrace you with all my love

I will always be your mother first, but I'm also your friend
You are the most precious gift, that I've ever been given

Wouldn't want to have you out of my sight
Protect you from any danger, even from a tiny mosquito bite

Try to put in as much as I could
Make sure you get everything that you should

What frightens me the most is..I won't be around forever
To ensure your safety and well being

I want you to be proud of who you are and strive to be the best
Put forth your efforts to achieve your goals and let Allah do the rest

Only when your life is complete and have a wonderful family of your own..
I know I can close my eyes and Rest In Peace...

Always remember my feelings towards you and how significant and important you are to me, even when i am no longer around..

With All My Love,

Mama

The Secret

I have learned there is little I can do
in my life that will make me truly happy
I must depend on God to make
me happy and to meet my needs.
When a need arises in my life,
I have to trust God to supply
according to HIS riches.
I have learned most of the time
I don't need half of what I think I do.
He has never let me down.
Since I learned that ' Secret ', I am happy.

Pain pain go away

Pain pain go away!
Please don’t come back another day.

Wonder if he cares about me.
Wonder if this is supposed to be.

Tears falling down my face,
oh how I wish no one could trace.

Feel thrown into a deep, dark hole,
I was lost couldn’t find my soul.

How can he stand there and break my heart
How did he allow us to grow so far apart?

How could he builds happiness out of my grief,
I was choked with disbelief.

Pricking pain right in my chest,
I’ve lost my senses don’t know what’s best.

My dreams of us being happy is never coming true
all I am feeling now is down and blue.

But then...
You came back

Pain pain go away,
Cause he’s back and chose to stay.

There he stood thinking back in time,
where he loved me and he was mine.

He said..
“So sorry I did this to you,
I will not stop loving you that much is true,
I realize I love you, I do, I do
For all I knew, I really need you..”

He said..
“Please darling give me a second chance..
To the love music we shall dance.
And let me offer you a warm embrace
and wipe out your tears flowing down your face.”

He said..
“Pain pain go away
I’ve learned my lesson through the hard way
leave us alone and do not stay.”

The Strength Of A True Love

How can there be pain in a place where there is so much joy? A loving relationship is the most awesome experience in the world. This is why it also holds the potential for so much sadness. There are so many things that can go wrong. We must remember... It's better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all!!!


How do I mend my broken heart?
My entire world has fallen apart.

How do I find hope in a brand new day,
when the one I love has turned away?

My mind overflows with memories of you,
of all that we've shared, all that we knew.

I long for your touch and your warm embrace,
the look in your eyes, the smile on your face.

My dreams are blown away by the breeze,
I wake and cry for all that I miss.

How do I mend my broken heart,
when my one true love and I are somewhat apart?

My heart knows to love and loves only you,
it won't let go, what do I do?

Our moments together remain fresh and new,
and I cherished them all more than you knew.

I love you my angel and always will,
I loved you then and I love you still.

No matter how crushed my heart has become,
I'll glue every pieces intact it becomes.

People criticize and i don't mind,
I'm just hanging on to what is mine.

Even though I don't really know what's in your heart,
I only need a little of yours for a new start,
With the strength of a true love I have in my heart,
I won't let anything..anybody mess with us till death do us apart.

A Husband...

A husband should be
Loyal and honest

A husband should be
Strong and protective

A husband should be
Loving and romantic

A husband should be
Patient and understanding

A husband should know
When enough is enough

A husband should know
When to fight and when to cry

A husband should know
all your goals and dreams

A husband should know
your strengths and well as your weaknesses

A husband needs to be a true man
A husband needs to love you unconditionally
A husband needs to know your heart is forever his

Even a storm came between us once upon a time
You didn’t say anything bad about me..
Coz there was hardly any, you said

You came to your senses
“ I’m so truly sorry dear…It’s me..not you..”

You begged for forgiveness
And I said yes..

You appreciate your wife
You chose us
You want to start all over again
And I said yes..

Because according to you…your wife is

Loyal and honest
Strong and protective
Loving and romantic
Patient and understanding
Know when enough is enough
When to fight and when to cry
Know all your goals and dreams
Know your strengths as well as your weaknesses

Your wife also..
Makes you feel like a true man
Loves you unconditionally
Lets you know that her heart is forever yours..

Dear husband..
I will forgive...but not sure if I am able to forget..
I'll let time handle that..

I Want To Say I Love You On Your Birthday!

Dear Shima...

I want to say I love you on your birthday,
Though my love for you is needless to say.
There are things I'd like to say
to you my princess on your special day:
I am forever thankful God sent you my way.

You’re my first born like I always say,
You’re so special in your own way.

Like a gift from up above,
you’ve showered me with joy, laughter and love.

I know many mountains we've had to climb
but I cherish every bit of it all the time.

Yes, we've endured our share of pain,
but together we have so much to gain.

Bigger mountains may lie ahead,
but together there is no hill we cannot tread.

So always remember my love for you,
and there is nothing together we cannot do.

I'll be here forever - my endless love for you
The person who would always remain in my heart…
that would be You.

Luv,
Mama (4th Nov 2009)

A Tribute to My Beloved Family

To be part of a family is to be in a relationship. There is an opportunity for a closeness and trust that cannot occur outside family. With this possibility for closeness is the possibility of hatred and estrangement. It is not easy to maintain positive relationships with those that we are naturally closest to. There are tensions that exist between family members that are not present in other relationships. Being in close proximity means that you know of persons great attributes as well as their faults. Maintaining family relationships is a tremendous challenge.




Dear Family...

When you've got a family like mine,
You definitely would not mind

They would be there to cheer for you,
All the way until you pull through

They make you feel good when you are blue
And whisper in your ear, I love you

They would teach you new things everyday
And help you find success in every way

They attend to your everyday needs
Whether it is buying pencils or beads

They assure you comfort wherever you are
Whether you are in a house or a car

They would not let obstacles keep you down
And create a smile from your frown

They teach you wrong from right
And encourage you to keep your dreams in sight

They wipe your tears away when you are sad
And calm you down when you get mad

Thank you family for all that you do
I don't know where I would be if it weren't for you...

The memories that are made are more precious than gold
from babies to weddings from young and to old

From grandparents to grandchildren and everyone in between
the many special relationships that are built
and could have never been foreseen

Thank you Allah
for my big family I will treasure through the good times and bad
the memories could not be measured

Thank you Allah
for birthdays, simple get-togethers and even the tears
for I pray that these blessings last many, many more years

To have a big family
can be a lot of work, not just play
but unfortunately... life is too short
so I THANK ALLAH FOR MY BIG FAMILY TODAY!


THANK YOU ALLAH

Always There

I will always be here through thick and thin
You can come to me, I'll listen
I'm your friend, I won't push you away
When you need a hug, my arms are wide open
When you need to talk, I have an open ear
You are growing up and getting older
Know that I'm always here, I'm not going anywhere
Wherever you are, I'm there with you
You're in my heart and my prayers
Just know I'm here, coz I truly care
You're my sister, you mean so much
Don't want to see you hurt or cry
I'll wipe the tears and get rid of your fears
Want to see you grow old and achieve
Just believe, have faith
You can do anything
You're beautiful inside out
You're smart and very talented
You're many things, but most of all...
you're my sister
I believe in you and know that I'll never stop loving YOU.

Sis

To Whom It May Concern

She got up this morning,
sun shining through the blind,
she took a look in the mirror,
and something struck her mind.

You weren't there to see her wake,
she didn't see your smile,
hoping that this is only a fake,
that you've been absent all this while.

She went into work today,
kids running through the halls,
she look at plans for the day,
and it is sad when nobody calls.

She got in her car to go home today,
on the radio she heard a song,
it reminded her of you,
and how hurtful it is when you're gone.

She went out with friends tonight,
smiled and wore a brave face,
for all she really wants with all her might,
is to have u in this place.

She gets troubled by sadness and fear,
ones which won't disappear,
what's the point of all this?,
what's the point when you never appear.

She went to sleep that night,
tried so hard for the days ahead,
it gives her a slam of fright,
you're not there on your side of the bed.

She got up this morning,
sun shining through the blind,
she took a look in the mirror,
and something struck her mind.

You were there to see her wake,
and she could see your smile,
hoping that this is not a fake,
you're only absent for a while.

She closes her eyes and in the dark,
she hopes she'll see you again,
the only thing that troubles her,
is not being able to say when?

For now she must be patient,
and one day her time will come,
and you'll be there to take her hand,
and safely guide her home.

A Birthday Wish For Shalia

God gave a gift when she was born,
A person who loves, who cares, who touches each life she enters,
who sees a person's need and fulfills it.

A person who spends energy on others rather than herself,
and makes a difference in the world.

Don't misjudge her by her size,
For all we know she's larger than life.

Sha...
You are so sweet and full of grace,
People won't forget your pretty face,
Always on the go...like the "Amazing Race"
No one can challenge your incredible pace.

Small and petite..that's what you are,
Attracts people near and far,
leads the way like the Northern Star,
Never fades like the energy of solar,

Always jovial and full of wonders,
Very creative unlike the mother,
Nothing in the world that can hinder,
From making my heart for you grow fonder.



Mama
