Seeking Paradise Posted February 19, 2005 Hooyo I saw you yesterday When you thought I wasn’t looking Applying Vaseline and countless other creams to your face and hands Hoping that it would smooth the wrinkles that time and life etched into your face with such gentle tenderness When you get angry You love to tell us With a deeply forlorn look, That the wrinkles are from yelling at us And the gray hairs from the all the trouble And heartache we always cause you Tugging at our heartstrings and making us suffer in guilt & regret for a few seconds but then we forget and things are back to normal However, I know that’s not true hooyo macaan I know why you have those wrinkles around your eyes and lips And the few gray hairs that stubbornly seem to wriggle their way out of your masar that you try to hide with henna They are caused by: All the pain you tried to bite back As the labour contractions almost rocked you off the bed The screams you heroically swallowed in As we pushed our way into the world The tearful smile you sent the doctor As we were placed upon your heart Every grimace you gave as we tested our new Teeth on your tender nipples Each agonizing tug of your heart As we skinned a knee Broke a tooth or just felt sad The countless sleepless, long, exhausting hours You sang, rubbed our backs As we lay sick in bed The times you paced around in worry franitcally calling all our friends wondering why we were 5 minutes late Each night you lay awake trying to imagine all the horrible things that coud befall us as we were in school, mall, or just walking in the street conjuring up the worst case scenerios breaking your heart wanting deperately to lock us in the house so no one could hurt us but knowning that is not possible Each time you laughed hysterically at our very very bad jokes and the times you cried with us experiencing our pain and hoping that you could take it away So dear mother when you look into the mirror you see ugliness in your wrinkles and lines you see old age creeping in on you dejection plain in your face But through my eyes I see kindness I see love I see where Allah's mercy has been placed and to me Hooyo Macaan You are indeed beautiful Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOB Posted February 19, 2005 Dark Angel, This is Classic...Thanks for sharing it with us my Sister and may Allah keep your parents in good health Insha Allah. Aamiin. a piece of me is gone missing on tuesday morning september 27th there's a big empty hole in my heart my nerves tell me they can't go on my whole world and life just fell apart as my lonely mind slowly crumbles my battered soul starts to grumble under the pressure of pain & sadness, i feel like I'm mutilated from within and as i contemplate, and pretend to perceive, i continue to degenerate, without a single reprieve, I'm overcome by my painful greif, as i held on tightly to your lifeless body refusing to accept that you are really gone, gone from this world and gone from our lives pretending that this was just a bad dream, but now I realize that I can't and wont ever get over you you brought me into this world when i never did exist you gave me your best and showed me your greatness you loved me with all your heart even when you needed love it tears me apart to remember how hard I made it for you it hurts me deeply to remember that I was a trouble some still you loved me and kept caring and nurturing me as naughty as I was you never laid your hands on me i remember how dad used to get mad every time you came to my rescue i remember how he used to say that you are spoiling me he called it spoiling but you called it love not that i am saying he didn't love me.. god forbid dad said the best thing we can do for you right now is to pray for you every time we stood in front of Allah dad still loves you that is why he never married again still sleeping in your bed all by himself he said he doesn't want your memories to fade i respect that because that's a true love Mom and I Love You Mom & Always Will. I better stop before I hurt myself even more. Peace, Love & Unity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
