Abdulla and his Mum...
As his mum lays asleep with fever he realizes he must not her awake
Walks around with blisters in his heart wondering what he could take
As his usual milk juice egg was not on the table which she normally lay.
He then rests a tender kiss on her cheek he whispers not what he want to say.
Eyes full of worry and fear he voiced ‘my mum' must get well real soon.
A feeling of guilt invaded me, as he stopped looked the kitchen all around.
An un.derstanding a smile as words concerend escaped for her health be sound
Carried his bag, a comfort kiss on my cheek with his alright biggy I will manage.
the beauty of his heart wet my cheeks just a boy of 15 but not a terrible teenage.
I looked up and a thankful prayer in my heart for this wonderful prize

No More' Brothers..Firoze and Fairuf 31st Dec1996 13th Aug 2011
Firoze and Fairuf Ibrahim....'no more'
As the sun lays its tired head on its pillow the sea
Daylight fades and leaves the world to darkness to me
Memories, of their spoken soft words lingers in my heart
As my misty eyes helplessly watch them sadly depart
Slipping beneath me like the waves and the sea sand
Filled with unspeakable pain something I don’t understand
From the rocks I gaze across the wide open seas uncertain floor
Hoping for no more shocks and heartaches by the score
Sometimes the deep oceans water glistens so crystal clear
How I wish life will be full of sparkling silvery waters to cheer
But like the changing tide of the much needed ocean
I keep rowing on with many a confused ocean of emotions.
As my loving brothers make their sudden exit
I create a new morrow as long as my journey exist
Create Date: Sunday, April 18,2010

Across the Gulf Waters Audrey Barber Smiles
Smile Away The Confused Heart
(audrey barber online sri lankan friend 2010)
That all important moment and you walked into my door.
God knew I needed genuine friends for my strength to grow,
Oh, they say that true friends in this planet tis to find so rare,
An online friendship a stong bond to blossom one must not dare!
But in my darkest hour you were the brightest shining star.
When deeply confused you gave me courage to travel distance far…
Unending hopes you extended that brought in a brand new life..
And you pushed me to rise high above all life's worldly strife..
A fun filled personality to cheer when things go.. so darn wrong.

In Toronto A Bday Celebration 2012
Time moved on and in the land of the sand dues
I sing the famous unforgettable that annual tune
Suddenly I see the fifteen year old no longer small
But a very precious handsome young man ever so tall
Far away across the Atlantic he spends this day
And I recapture those moments we then shared every day
His face wears that oh so dynamic boyish smile
His sister gels his hair, grooms to his desired style
The tear streaked face now I do so rarely see
But many a caring words a gentle kiss, comforting me
A pleasure a treasure a sense of contentment
As he spread the rainbow of happiness with less dent
Thank you dear grandson for the sunshine in my life
May your journey be blessed with the best and never a strife
Starry days be yours on this your bday with every sunrise
Near or far you will always my best ever special prize!
Happy Bday...Abdullah Sheriff

As I Recall...31st December 1996
Fairuf's Bday 2nd May 2012
Memories of my dearest brother as I recall.
Richly replays in mind, a melody without a stall.
exchanging words of many a love and hate.
Strengthened the bond made us great mates.
The precious wonders of our childhood joys.
Distance and trials never could destroy.
when lost and weary the days, and I do get frail.
The uncertain days, his strength never did fail….
Now keeps rushing back to my mind to this day.

Sunrise Sunset Unexplained Splendour
SUNRISE SUNSET UNEXPLAINED SPLENDOUR
From the clouds we do see,
The changes so blissfully.
My soul dwelled this hour,
Like an opening flower.
As I understood the place,
While facing my appointed race.
It seemed carpeted with peace,
And mother earth seemed at ease.
The moment awaited me
My heart reached out with glee
Everything seemed so bright,
The world filled with natural light.
As I floated from above,
Filled my heart, like an only love.
Heavens feeling as it pleases,
Like sailing the seven seas.
The golden ball displays,
And earth faces another phase.
Nature’s lamp and its dear light,

A Sweetness Lives On
I sink into my recent thoughts my feelings freeze,
Emotions confused, inconflict I do not feel at ease
An unexpected pain, my heart got seared
Wondering with anxiety why I feel tired so weird
I have to be honest I do get maimed, blinded
When life goes disarray sadly I do get minded
My angelic teachers instantly do swing
Tap dancing a sweet melody, memries sing
My oh so.. treasured, trusted, perfect loyal friends
kindly their hearrts and time do so lovingly lend

Travelled this Far With Fine Things In My Life
Travelled this Far With Fine Things In My Life
Faith trust, love always completes its awesome victory
As it scatters its sweet fragrance with radiance tastefully
Under the unshaded eyes of the sizzling summer sun
And the darkest hours, the clouds hath bluntly spun
Stars do not struggle to shine, bringing in a pleasant sight
And the silvery stream flows gleaming, with a delight
Every avenue, singing merrily its unstained melody
With blissful joys, serene, dominating an unique harmony.
Flowers blossoming to awaken a heartfelt happiness
The luxurious green meadows with a touch of mist, seen rare
As The soft breeze, gently kisses to freshen the hazy air
With dignity and honor a dream is graciously granted
A loyalty, a trust a devotion that was never ever aborted
On a pedestal, a majestic empire now glistens confidently
As the journey nears its end with a glow triumphantly

Hopes just lie there and die there
Hopes lie there and just die there
Hopes just lie there and die there...
...Hearts don’t let me, down courage don’t desert me...
Now that I know my mind, my eyes do clearly see,
That the world is covered with so many fakes.
......Promises made but was made to bluntly forsake.
Religion twisted to meet every ones brutal needs,
Preachers, teachers with distorted versions do feed.
The sweet fragrance all exhausted by careless hands,
With war of words exchanged from land to land,
The tongue let loose and the white soldiers stall,
Sees the end of peace and happiness as it falls
Dims a vision of hopes, that may never surface
Shattering, tattering the trembling earthly face.
Alas a dream of a wonderful life, sees a sad end
Concern to many heartaches.. none did ever lend.
A child is born with peace that ceases, to surely be

Love..Maketh A Beautiful Mind
Love Makes A Beautiful Mind
True love walks in an unexpected time with no control, no such warning
Flowers the taste of the sweetest fragrance of faith trust and love overflowing
Blossoms with understanding an emotional secret language and so gracefully...
Braves stormy waters with dignity preseving an unstained melody with radiance, flawlessly!
Love has the most beautiful ingredients building wonders of an amazing superstructure...
Over years or decades can never be measured and it will never ever see any fracture.
At a tender age or at a withering stage true love blooms like a dazzling treasure
Embedded with the splendour of beauty a serenity with a sincere heartwarming pleasure
Love sails majestically wearing the crown of honor in its elegant luxurious fleet
