MY DEAR SON!

Last night while teaching you your sabak for the next day
I got angry and shouted at you, for your mind was at play
Tears flowed from your eyes as you tried hard to obey
But your mind still wandered off far away

I sighed and said, that I was terribly upset!
For you always made it a habit to forget.
I walked away leaving you there to reflect
But you jumped up and hurried back to your computer project

I wondered what was so important
That you had to finish what you hadn't
I always wanted the best from you in an instant
Ever since you were just an infant

I have high expectations for your future as an adult
A pious, noble, intelligent result
This is why I had named you after
Our noble Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) our beloved master

It was only a little later that I truly understood
That this was just part of your innocent childhood
What you were doing on the computer was not silly games
But it was a letter to ME!!! with lovely little sayings

You wrote.. I love you my umi , you do so much for me that I will never forget
As I held it in my hands my heart skipped a beat and I broke up into a sweat
I had shouted and got angry when you didn't pay attention
All because your mind was on the letter you had to mention

I make a firm intention today my dear son
Never to get angry and shout a ton
Your heart is so pure, sweet and true
I am so gifted to have a son like you!
