you and i were meant to be......

To my future husband Yusef:

I cannot change the way I am,
I never really try,
God made me different and unique,
I never ask him why.

If I appear peculiar,
There's nothing I can do,
You must accept me as I am,
As I've accepted you.

God made a casting of each life,
Then threw the mold away,
Each child is different from the rest,
Unlike as night from day.

So often we will criticize,
The things that others do,
But, do you know, they do not think,
The same as me and you.

So God in all his wisdom,
Who knows us all by name,
He didn't want us to be bored,
That's why we're not the same.

You and I were meant to be
God entrusted my fate to thee
You entered my life one sweet day
And the 3rd May , our fate, our pathway

My life has flourished in happiness
My feelings are so boundless
Your life and mine will truly bond
Our bodies and souls will truly bound

We will laugh, play, chat and pray
We will vent, snort, touch, and support
Miles and miles from across the sea
Our minds and souls have no boundary

What if we shared, we lived as one
Our hearts and souls would never famine
Our future sealed for us together
Eternity beckons, each other we treasure

When we live together, it is my dream
Our home will fill with laughter,
Mrs B at uni, teaching and researching
Mr B at work, listening and to the complaining
When we live together, Yusef how would you feel?
Or is my dream one without a seal?
When we live together, our worlds would unite
Minds, bodies and souls together so tight

Minds and dreams are wonderful, they excite
My mind has this dream, to you I write
Tell me, tell me, do you dream the same
When we live together, Mrs B, my new surname?


When we live together, these words will not lose
The true meaning of life, it's without taboo's
When we live together, these words from you
Would complete my life, and they are I DO.

Marriage........

Is there freedom in your marriage?

Or is there bondage bringing woe

Is there freedom in your marriage?

This is what I'd like to know.


For marriage is two people

Each sharing the others respect

Not telling the other how to live or love

Nor giving each other the shove

For each is an individual

With free-will to be such;

Giving and receiving in their talents -

However much.


Having freedom to enjoy at times

What each may like to do;

Pleasing each other by attitude

Being happy for each too.


Standing by each other

When outsiders shoot the tongue

No matter what the cost might be

For freedom you're among.

So, is there freedom in your marriage?

I pray there is today,

For only in marriage's freedom -

Love will be for aye!

The woman in me.....

My love is so near in my heart
But hes in fact so far
I fear this love is pointless
But, something strong says it's not
Is he really worth fighting or praying for?
Is he really worth praying for?
I'm so confused
I don't want to make the wrong decision


I love him so much
I don't know what to do
He does accept me, but loves me not, I can tell
He's too afraid to say, it's so hard on him I feel
Especially with everything that gets in the way.
It's not as easy as I thought , for many will get hurt
A proposal I have been informed


Differences and struggles leaving all tragic past behind
Starting anew is no easy task
Especially after the pause ;long it is
A new life means happiness they say
Still cant visualize,knowing a turn I must take
The heartaches of my past still haunt me
Confiscating my new rainbow of hope
Amnesia is thought an illness, I so wish I had

Must leave my past and move on anew
A man in my life will give reason to live
For what is a woman without a man?
Love?Who said anything about such/
Respect and appreciation come first
As before fallen, broken and in despair all watched
The game of love is over
And a new era for me in the making

I pray I be once more a happy soul
For my dues to tragedy I paid in full
To be completed by a partner is no choice
For completed I am and he the addition
He’s the whipped cream on my dessert
Is how I will see things
How I wish my parents could see me now
Marrying for convenience and not for love
Foremost they’d wish me well
Though a loveless marriage was never their plan


We cant play God for the job too divine
As destiny and fate become entwined
The gent is a good man,so they say
A handicap we both share
Never would I believe marry not for love
He a Christian and I ,a born Muslim
Convert he agreed , a widow he is, childless too
A pair made in heaven
One never knows

Will he be my passionate storm
Electrifying , my body from its deep sleep with every single touch
Or will my burning lust all go to waste?
Lust is not all so they say
For life holds many hopes
The gentleman in waiting
A response I have I have returned
In that love has no deal
For a unity with respect we will share
And living alone will no longer be an ordeal
