I read to my mom the two poems that I wrote for the almaghribNW contest today.. I guess she thought it was sweet lol.. couse I dunnu I usually don’t say lovey stuff to her.. I show her my love in other ways.. anyways here are the poems.. I won 2nd prize somehow :O and no I didn’t bribe sabika, ya zaineb :P btw I dont take full credit for the second one.. lol.. a certain sis helped me out a bit in it..
My mother : A tribute.
Life is but a collection of memories
But there is one that is deeply rooted in my heart
Its the memory of someone that was there from the start
Ya ummi my debt to you is ever so immense!
From the moment I opened my eyes
You've been by my side
Helping me each step of the way
The seed of love for the deen you planted inside me
Watering it with your words of wisdom
And nourshing it with your advice
Ya ummi my debt to you is ever so great!
All the days you spent teaching me
All the nights you spent in prayer
All the du'as you made
All the tears and all the pain
Insha' Allah it hasnt gone in vain
Ya ummi my debt to you is ever so vast!
You are always there when I need you
To console in and turn to
When I need a shoulder to cry you
You offer me yours
And when I feel alone in this world
I know to you I can turn
Ya ummi my debt to you is ever so much!
No matter what I say my words are cheap
Weighed against the sacrfices that you have made
My actions can't pay back even 1%
For I could carry you to Makkah and back
And it wouldnt amount to even one kick
I ask that Allah (swt) rewards you immensly for what you've done
And grants me the honor of fallowing in your steps
Ya ummi my love for you is ever so deep!
To you Yaa Ummi,
I opened my eyes, for the very first time
I saw a smile that day especially for me
All throughout my life
It was a comfort that’d be
When I began to walk, and talk
The same old smile I’d see,
So proud and happy
Of her little girl…that was me!
I grew up slowly but surely it’s true
The only one who I could turn to
Was you
The hand I could hold,
The company I could share
Never disappeared,
It was always there
The love was unconditional
No ifs or buts needed
If I was hurt or in distress
It was her heart that bleeded
I could never repay this debt
So big, so precious
Is this person
In my heart
From the very first moment we met
