The greatest father

I had a dream, I had a dream to be a great father
But in truth it takes more than one person to be that father
For without offspring that was never a dream to be true
Blessed indeed am I that I have a son like you

If what you have achieved was mostly to please me
Understand in your life it is always between you and He
Always a parent is anxious for his child that he may fall
Fearing to get up and not battling to win the ball

How you straightened my back since I too must meet expectations
Of a child who since young was great with his recitations
He loved always to kick a ball and loving the playground to be the field
While as a dad I think only that I must from the dangers you shield

I realised and understand that your life and era is a time beyond us
Watching you grow you may not have understood the fuss
It's not about the detail but always about the goal
For I may not live to see it all as from my body departs my soul

But you are smart and wisdom will come with time
Life is more than a poem that has some rhyme
It is to love and be loved and be the greatest son
For without him no father can be great when all is said and done

Ah the pride when a father sees his child facing the world with strength
Overcoming obstacles and with perseverance triumphs at length
The world's greatest father is he who has the greatest son
If I had to do it all over I'll will have you replaced by none.

As the clock ticks by, rush not into another year
Enjoy your youth and approach the future with no fear
Arm yourself with conviction, faith and determination
Stay true for this dad is for you full of admiration

To fulfil one's purpose in life one must ensure ideal ingredients and the ideal method to apply it - the goal is Jannah and Islam is the way

Of the many lessons learnt from "the early bird catches the worm" is one of PURPOSE .. being goal oriented ...there is no time to be aimless

"the way the cookie crumbles". Sometimes an excuse in life. Perhaps first examine the ingredients used and then the method to mix it together

In the changing of the seasons are lessons for the changes in our lives, be it daily or otherwise. We are grateful for rain as we are for sunshine

Let your mind and heart be one of fertility - so that your actions may not be of futility

As you plan your daily activities, plan your life knowing that your daily activities will end, so too will your life- what is beyond it for you

While everyone's provision has been ordained, this is no excuse for being complacent, rather it’s the key to strive your utmost and be grateful

Being productive is to fulfil your responsibilities to those who have a right to your time

As the sun rose this morning with its beautiful golden rays ..what an awesome reminder of opportunties for him who rises and starts early

If you give direction to your life you are likely to get to your chosen destination while being aware of all the dangers and favours along the way

Success without Faith in the Creator wll be short-lived. True success is sweet but needs patience at first
