To all Libyan Children and Mothers
In Libya the 20th and 21st March Mothers' and Childrens' Day are celebrated at the same time !
In the past I visited many hospitalized children some with HIV others with Cancer. To my knowledge these children are taken care of during these days and I got slapped in the face by many who thought and said I had done it for mere publicity -none of which is true.
I now visit the orphanage and many hospitals at least once a month when I dont have a health issue and can have someone replace me at work.The children are so happy to see me when I visit I have tried in vain to take pics of them but its not permitted.I have also adopted two children from the orphanage with Down Syndrome .The important thing is that they feel that someone cares for them.......
Lolitta Ali ,a good friend of mine and a recent blogger, who writes beautiful poetry ,encouraged me to write a poem for my mother,who is also a relative of hers. I dont think my daughters will follow suite ,or just maybe they will lol we will have to see on Saturday what they come up with ; my bridezillas lol!
My mother is someone who loves me
Who cares for me in every way
She sits down and listens
To what I have to say
She always thinks I'm beautiful
Never puts me down
She always has a smile
To wipe away my frown
My mother is someone who believes in me
Always pushes me to go high
Tells me to believe in myself
No matter what I say
My mother is like an angel
Although without the wings
She tells me to enjoy
Life's most smallest things
I really love my mother
She means so much to me
Mama I really love you
And that's how it always will be.
