It takes 30 seconds...

It takes 30 seconds to hit "reply" and say a friendly "hi"
It takes 30 seconds to smile and dispose of the lie in their eyes
It takes 30 seconds to drop food in a bin
It takes 30 seconds to inspire the sick to have hope
It takes 30 seconds to hold out your hand and help
It takes 30 seconds to lift a spoon and place food on a ones empty plate
It takes 30 seconds to speak up and defend one against a bully
It takes 30 seconds to inspire
It takes 30 seconds to learn a lesson
It takes 30 seconds to make the weak strong
It takes 30 seconds to see life before us
It takes 30 seconds to realize the reality
It takes 30 seconds to forever change lives

.................In 24 hours, find 30 seconds and change tomorrow today!

If we as humans can figure out how to get to the moon, surely we can figure out how to defend the oppressed THROUGH OUT the world. But why can't we? Because it's so much easier not to think about it. It's so much easier to close our doors, curl up on the couch and watch the "Little Mosque on the Prairie".

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....let each of us vow today to make a difference. Be it small be it big. We ALL have the potenial to touch a life, to cause a chain reaction which eventually will be seen everywhere. If you don't try, how will you ever know? God has given ever single one of us a gift...discover it...use...and make a change!!!

God bless those of innocence, God bless those that are oppressed, God bless those that put forth their best with sincerity, God bless those with goodness in their hearts, and give us the numbers to make a change....Ameen.

Parental Love

I wrote this poem years ago, it's been lying in one of my books. But in honor of Children's Day I thought I would post it here. Every precious child in the world ......it's for you!

Have you ever seen an angel sleep? Have see how far he can spread his feet? How he likes his wings to be free? Have you ever seen the glow on his face? A glow no tantrum can erase. Have you ever seen how his lips part ever so slightly and whistle a heavenly melody?

Sweet lil angel, sweet lil child, you make me want to smile and cry at the same time. O' sweet lil angel you'll never know this love of mine. It runs from my veins into your heart, and through your smile back into my heart.

Sweet lil angel, sweet lil child, this love of mine may be blind but I can't help loving such a beautiful thing (Masha'Allah).

I love you so much it hurts that these words don't seem to work ... so I'll lay a kiss on your cheek and pray one day you'll come to realize how much I mean it.

Sweet dreams my lil angel child, sweet dreams baby of mine ......

Sketched Soul

mini reflection .....

One will not find greatness in physical or mental ease. For greatness lies in the ability to work mind and body in sync of ones passions. To yearn for ease is in fact to yearn for something less than great! Indeed when greatness is achieved ease will follow............. trust the Plan of the Almighty, a plan only disclosed by the practice of patience :) Insha'Allah

Night Light

Many moons ago I used to look up in the sky and I used to wonder why...
O'stars, stars why are you up so high?
Many moons ago I used to gaze into the night and I used to wonder why...
Moon, moon why are you up so high?

And as I got older, I got a tiny bit wiser
No need to wonder any longer
Because if the moon and the stars were down low
By the greed of man they would be no more
We'll be staring at a dark hole for sure
The black of the night
That of earths current sights
Where we fight, fight and fight
But no ones has their rights

Many moon ago I used to look up in the sky and I used to wonder why...
O'stars, stars why are you up so high?
Many moons ago I used to gaze into the night and I used to wonder why...
Moon, moon why are you up so high?

It's easy to see now, that if we able to pluck you from the sky
There would be one less reason for us to sigh
To awe and to cry
As there would be nothing left above us, other than a darkness
The result of each selfish gain trying to make claim to what's not theirs

And so if you find yourself asking why, o'why?
Remember it's not always easy to see wisdom but just try
Eventually you'll come to see it
And realize the best isn't always what you see fit

Now I gaze into the open night air and I say
Luminescent moon suspended above us, radiant in the night sky
Beautiful bulbs; the stars beating within it's blanket of black
I'm glad you're up above the reach of man
This is indeed is God's Master Plan
I put my trust in you O'Creator of all I see
For your wisdom is beyond our understanding
Beyond that of humanity!
