To Naomi, Innaz and Amber ...and you too Nisa

Hello Girls,

What beautiful girls you turn out to be,

I hope you realise how special you are to me.

To my niece Naomi, Innaz and Amber,

and my good friend's baby girl, Nisa,

I have watched you grow from being cute & mischievous

to be such pretty and tall young lasses

Please I beg you to listen

I hope you would try to understand

there will be plenty of time in the future

for you to fall in love with a man

Please believe me when I say

you need more than love to be alive
No man can come and save your day

only you have the power to decide

To be a women of independent means

To have the power to realise your dream

To work hard and do your best
Its a great feeling I can attest

And one day Insya-allah

A men worthy of your love

He will see more than beauty in you

He'll see a woman with depth and virtue

For nothing beats a life lived honourably

with purpose and direction

God has a plan for you and me

we should put our faith in His wisdom

You are all jewels, precious as can be

there's a million possibilities

don't squander your youth on teenage romance

knowledge is power just give it a chance...

I love you, I truly do

I can see myself in you

Be nice, be wise, be true

know that I will always be there for you

Love Lots of It from

Auntie Liza...aka Auntie Fara (f. Nisa)

PS Now I did not just put words in this for it to rhyme, Every single word comes from the heart.

Do spend some time to contemplate your future.... talk to your parents on your options.

For My Husband Peter

Until the day we met
On a warm tropical night
My life did not make sense
Try as I might
Then you showed me something
A world I never knew
unconditional love eluded me
Until the day I met you.

It has been 15 years ago
I saw you in a crowd
And I knew even then
That left me without a doubt
Fate has brought us together
Our future is entwined
And whatever comes next
I am forever in your debt.

For your patience, For your guidance,
For your never-ending quest
To convince me that you love me
Even though I am such a mess
I have grown as a person,
Shown strength I never knew
A fuller life I cannot imagine
Than the life I have with you.

So when the day comes
for us to part ways
know that it has been fun

to be your wife “most” days

It has been almost 15 years
From the day we first met
Filled with memories
Absolutely no regrets!

My Husband, My Love

My Blessing from above
Wishing you a Happy Anniversary
From your wife
…….Just off the cuff
