Certificate of Excellence,  poem: Mother Angel Mine

MOTHER ANGEL MINE
Triple acrostic

Mother’s etrnAl love never fails to
Omit her praise iN family gatherings
To initiate learninG,  coMpetition, compromise
Heavenly sent in hEather Imbued sent to reveal
Every character not Less,  Never less, but
Remember her sunny smile Eternally loving in its simplicity.

Opinion prompt

What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.

I hate being asked if all Muslims are terrorists. This question has been around for centuries now, and as yet, people haven’t been educated enough to realize that Muslims are a peaceful lot in general. The word, Muslim, means peace, which is indoctrinated within Muslims to be at peace within themselves and with their entourage. This means that they seek peace through their prayers and reading of the quoraan in order to learn and apply that peace in their lives.

Yes, there are some Muslim terrorists but those who kill indiscriminately women and children, in my eyes aren’t true Muslims, as Islam teaches us to honor our women, especially mothers under whose prayers and goodwill opens the gates of heaven. Therefore, I implore those with that question to do some research because that question hurts believers unbearably.

Nurturer, mother, teacher, and writer

What are you good at?

The first 3 have the same base, that of a nurturer. I love having people around enjoying a welcoming and comfortable ambiance that’s conductive to discussions. I also love being a mother, as there’s a great amount of give and take, learning and teaching that takes place in that type of relationship. Mostly, I love giving out hugs to all my babies and extended Family, mostly ;).

As for teaching, it combines the above 2 and taught me that friendship comes in all shapes, sizes, and ages. Some of my students continue to text me after over a decade having gone by. The best feeling as a teacher is knowing you’ve connected with your students and built a rapport that lasts.

Finally, my writing comes from the above 3, as I’m an introvert who has difficulty saying the right thing in a conversation, so I relegate my feelings and observations to my writing.
