MY ONE ACT OF FORGIVENESS CHANGED MY LIFE!

As you all know, my relationship with Saad has not been great.For 18 years, I tried my best to change him-without success! He deserted me when I needed him the most, I used to hold him responsible for this fact, kept on fuming inwardly,so much that my health suffered.One day, I forgave him- just like that! I prayed to God that "God whatever destiny You have written for me, whatever I will achieve in this world, give it to him and give me all his pain and sorrows-I am strong-I can take it! "The selfish part of me whispered"Tazein! What are you doing! Signing away your Destiny to him"? I did it anyway! Today, I am proud to state that God did not alter my destiny in any way-I know where is God taking me-I will live to see the day my book gets published-I know it in my heart-He is holding me, I try to rack my brain at times, thinking what did I ever do that He keeps on blessing me so much.I just want to inspire you all- this is my motive!,God bless you for your tremendous love and support, may God grant you love, peace and happiness! I love you as you are- beautiful human beings, it is my pleasure to know you!

DREAM LIFE!-MY PRAYER FOR YOU!

Wear your heart on your sleeve, even if just for a day!
Be keen, adventurous, with an expectant gaze,
Form, create, devise your own Destiny,
Make your own rules, push through your limitations,
Your fears reside only in your head,
Live life fearlessly, let go of peoples' expectations,
See the world with a child like wonder,constantly discover!
Keep the flame burning in your heart,
Be so good at whatever you do,
The World cannot help but notice you!

RAMBLINGS OF MY MIND

Sadness, pain, torment, anguish,
Bliss, contentment, happiness,
Rising and falling, ascending and descending,
Reaching higher, falling down,
Crawling sometimes on the ground,
This is the diary of my emotions,
Rapid Highs and Lows,
Fighting, striving, continuing,
Never giving up,forever shining!

HUMANITY

        
Your face is a mask,you wear a disguise,
Yet, I can see through your eyes,
Your story is untold, hidden, beneath layers of self-defense,
You are hurting, scared of which that is not known,
Your spirit is full of sadness,
Your smile tells a thousand tales,
Beneath your facade, you scream and wail,
Do not be afraid, I love you unconditionally,
For the beautiful human being you are,
You reside in my heart, never too far,
May all your sorrows be laid to rest,
I pray that you pass life's Ultimate Test!

IN MEMORIAM TO THE YOUNG LIVES LOST IN THE CONNECTICUT SHOOTINGS

So many lives yet to live,
Yet to grow up, to experience  life,
Alas! Tragedy struck, young lives snuffed out,
Everything fell apart, humanity broke down,
The parents, the siblings left with scars in their hearts,
Untold suffering, pain everywhere, joy departs,
My heart bleeds , I too am a mother,
The loss of a child is heart breaking,
A child can never be replaced by any other,
May God grant strength to the grieving families,
A long process of healing awaits them,
How can one forget one's own child?
Their plight is heart rendering,
The little angels live on in memories, untarnished and alive!

TRUE BLISS

  
Something inside me has changed forever,
I can never go back to the person I was before,
I have been awakened from a deep slumber,
The love of God just keeps me humble,
Rays of sunshine penetrate my heart,
I have never felt this much peace,
Happiness cannot be defined in a word,
It is eternal, everlasting in my world.

FAITH-1

        
Faith comes knocking at my door,
I let it in, breathe the light within,
Countless times I have contemplated suicide,
Yet God stopped me from taking my own life,
Whenever I break down, the dark tunnel seems to forever go on,
No light guides me, I keep fumbling around,
Still, I stop for a minute and reflect,
The reality is God loves me and protects!

MY JOURNEY

                     
Once upon a time, in a far off distant land,
I was young and alive, full of promise, life stretched by,
Sadly, dark clouds hovered on my Horizon,
Stayed for a long time, my inner light flickered, then went out completely,
Surrounded by darkness, I felt the way around, scared of dying, afraid of the unknown,
After what seemed like an eternity, I caught a glimpse of light,
Suddenly,it flooded my entire being, it was so bright!
Now, I realize God had closed a door,
I was trapped within, stumbling, not knowing where to go,
God opened a window, the radiance of the sun poured in,
 I was aglow!

WHISPERS IN THE NIGHT

Whispers in the night keeps  me awake,
I stare at the star studded Universe,
My inner pain goes away,
Twinkling, breathtaking majesty everywhere,
Infinite boundaries, no worries, no cares.
I am at one with God,
He dwells in the deepest recesses of my soul,
Constant, never ending faith,I do not give up,
Though I have a lot of hurdles to overtake.
