This is a truly BEAUTIFUL piece please
read this at a slow pace, digesting every word and in
leisure…do not hurry….this is a treasure…

For those lucky to still be blessed with your Mom, this is beautiful.
For those of us who aren’t, this is even more beautiful.
For those who are moms, you’ll love this.

The young mother set her foot on the path of life. ‘Is this the long way?’ she asked.
And the guide said: ‘Yes, and the way is hard. And you will be old before you reach the end of it. But the end will be better than the beginning.’

*GIVE  TIME  TO  LOVE*ÂÂ
ÂÂ
The paradox of our time in history is thatÂÂ
we have taller buildings but shorter tempers,ÂÂ
wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.ÂÂ
We spend more, but have less.ÂÂ
We buy more, but enjoy less.ÂÂ
ÂÂ
We have bigger houses and smaller families,ÂÂ
more conveniences, but less time.ÂÂ
We have more degrees but less sense,ÂÂ
more knowledge, but less judgment,ÂÂ
more experts, yet more problems,ÂÂ
more medicine, but less wellness.ÂÂ
ÂÂ
We drink too much,ÂÂ
smoke too much,ÂÂ
spend too recklessly,ÂÂ
laugh too little,ÂÂ
drive too fast,ÂÂ
get too angry,ÂÂ
stay up too late,ÂÂ
get up too tired,ÂÂ
read too little,ÂÂ
watch TV too much,ÂÂ
and pray too seldom.ÂÂ
ÂÂ
We have multiplied our possessions,ÂÂ
but reduced our values.ÂÂ
We talk too much, love too seldom,ÂÂ
and hate too often.ÂÂ
We’ve learned how to make a living,ÂÂ
but not a life.ÂÂ
We’ve added years to life not life to years.ÂÂ
ÂÂ
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back,ÂÂ
but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.ÂÂ
We conquered outer space but not inner space.ÂÂ
We’ve done larger things, but not better things.ÂÂ
We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.ÂÂ
We’ve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.ÂÂ
We write more, but learn less.ÂÂ
We plan more, but accomplish less.ÂÂ
We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait.ÂÂ
ÂÂ
 We build more computers to hold more information,ÂÂ
to produce more copies than ever,ÂÂ
but we communicate less and less.ÂÂ
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion,ÂÂ
big men and small character,ÂÂ
steep profits and shallow relationships.ÂÂ
These are the days of two incomes but more divorce,ÂÂ
fancier houses, but broken homes.ÂÂ
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers,ÂÂ
throw-away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies,ÂÂ
and pills that do everything from cheer to quiet, to kill.ÂÂ
ÂÂ
It is a time when there is much in the showroomÂÂ
window and nothing in the stockroom.ÂÂ
A time when technology can bring this letter to you,ÂÂ
and a time when you can chooseÂÂ
either to share this insight,ÂÂ
or to just hit delete.ÂÂ
ÂÂ
Remember, spend some time with your loved ones,ÂÂ
because they are not going to be around forever.ÂÂ
ÂÂ
Remember, say a kind word to someoneÂÂ
who looks up to you in awe,ÂÂ
because that little person soon will grow upÂÂ
and leave your side.ÂÂ
ÂÂ
Remember, to give a warm hugÂÂ
to the one next to you,ÂÂ
because that is the only treasureÂÂ
you can give with your heartÂÂ
and it doesn’t cost a cent.ÂÂ
ÂÂ
Remember, to say, “I love you?”ÂÂ
to your partner and your loved ones,ÂÂ
but most of all mean it.ÂÂ
A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when itÂÂ
comes from deep inside of you.ÂÂ
ÂÂ
Remember to hold handsÂÂ
and cherish the moment forÂÂ
someday that person will not be there again.ÂÂ
Give time to love, give time to speakÂÂ
and give time to shareÂÂ
the precious thoughts in your mind.ÂÂ
ÂÂ
 *CHERISH THE MOMENT*

In pitch-dark the sky is veiled of charms,
Tempts the luminescent moon to drift in arms.
By gestures, beauty hypnotizing spells it casts,
Embellished, embroided, embedded with glistening stars.
Eyes wear shyness, lips drip smile,
As breathing memories refresh, pile.
Serene Night breeze enfolds the soul gradually,
With romantic whispers of my love tenderly.
I feel your scented fragrance outside my place,
Soaked so deeply in eyes, you kiss my face.
Not letting a single moment gifted to slip,
Your words of passion, compassion, affection click.
Struck by desire, to see u I wish enormously,
Holding me close you cuddle and caress.
A delicate flower withers in your hands suddenly
As unknown fears with your whispers-romantic
Whispers suppress.

By Mona Rahman, Jeddah

I please Allah, I obey His commands
