You're not invited to this place that eventually I had to go,
but know this, from heaven I will watch you grow.
When you're outside feeling lonely, the breeze upon your face,
just know that behind the stars I am, in a happy place,
happy but wishing I was there to wipe away your tears,
wishing I was there to remove all of your fears.
As my life went on my child, I took good care of you,
I loved you with all my heart and soul, and from here I still do.
So love your children as I loved you
because eventually someday you will have to leave them too.
When He chooses finally that your day has come
I'll be here waiting with a kiss and lots of hugs.
Then together with pride we'll watch over your grown-up kids,
you will be their angel, and for their babies in the cribs,
missing them together wanting nothing more than to feel their touch
the way I am missing you right now, oh so very much.
So smile and wipe those tears away
for eventually we'll be together, but only He can choose the day.
And until then please move forward in life, make me proud
and just know that I'm waiting and loving you from the other side of the cloud.

Poetry: To my children
by Moeze Lalji
To my children
Who will see
Problems of life
Which call for
A calm mind
So the winds
Don't become
A tornado solution
And blow
The days of diapers
are long gone.
Hearing you talk for the first time
was like hearing angelic voices.
Watching you to
A child is a welcome sight
When they are all sweet and nice
When trouble hits they seem all a miss
Lack of listening
YOU MADE ME DIFFERENT
A poem in praise of children, and in commemoration of the World Children’s Day.
Dear Child,
My Little Girl
I have a little dolly with cheeks of rosy red,
her big brown eyes close when I lay her on her bed.
