Mama's Face

By: Musue N. Haddad

Oh! Mama
Your face, that beautiful face;
Glowing with a joyful, beautiful smile
The warmth in your face,
Sparkling with divine love,
Glorifying the heavens above.

Oh! Mama
Your joy, your smile;
The brightness in your eyes,
Not a word,
Warmth of your closeness, worthwhile,
Speaks volume of your mission

My Mama
Thanks for your ever presence
Each with unique radiance
Picket, a barrier, bolster, fortify
Empathized, a rare timely mergence.
Thank you Mama!

My dear Mama
You’ve always been there
Rocky, narrow path, nowhere
Freezing cold, crying child
Never alone on the journey,
This I know.

Oh Mama
Sometimes it is cruel,
The pains, heartache,awful,
Wounding remarks from numskull
Mockeries and sarcasm, wrongful
Tears the already weary heart.

Yes Mama
Tis our season of breakthrough
Mighty, beautiful new beginning
For your grandchild and me, soaring,
Successful, prosperous destinies, anew
My heart is grateful.

Sixth Birthday: The Circle Completes

By: Musue Haddad

My child, my Prince Michael
Six years ago, Holy Thursday
To the world, you opened your eyes
That day, on a Holy Thursday
The celebrated Last Supper
Stories told, and retold
Thousands of years ago
Jesus shared bread and wine

Jesus washed the feet of his disciples
Demonstrated the duty of officials
To serve the public
Jesus’ betrayal by his own
And mocked by His beneficiaries
His friends denied him
And then, he was crucified
What a scene!

The day of your birth, my child
Six years ago, my Prince
Long hours of fight between good and evil
In the midst of pains, lies lingered
You emerged victorious that April
And Love outshined death that day
Honored with a beautiful smile

Since your formation
And then your birth on this earth
You’ve witnessed distractions, lies
Love battles pries, slantwise, gadflies
Pounded by untold betrayal my Prince
My child, the past is demise
For you, the moonrise and the sunrise

You are six, my Prince
Six, is like a full circular ellipse
You’re enfolded in a full circle
Like the Six points Star of David
Mighty Shield of David, a flawless star
Shielded David in battle and during his flight
Also symbolizes wisdom, beauty and divine grace

You’re a full six, my dear Michael
Anything less than beautiful
Your growth, and performance perfect
Nobly walk, talk, laugh, and brilliantly vocal
Crowned with courage and explicability
A whole loving miracle
An impressive divine plan that’s blissful

Surrounded by pure love, I implore,
From this day forth day, little Prince,
You shall rise graciously, and courageously.
As an torch bearer of love and pure light,
You shall enjoy uncommon favors.
You shall enjoy the fullness of love and life.
Wisdom, grace and peace are yours.
Overall, you shall fulfill your divine purpose
These I released upon you, my Prince.

Also, remember always my Prince
Release your hopes, and desires earnestly
As we do,with ease and joy always declare,
“I am here to shine brightly.
I am filled with God’s light and love
I am healthy, wise and blessed
I am one with God.”

Then, keep in mind that you are loved always
And God’s power is within you, my Prince!

Happy Sixth Birthday from your loving family & friends:
Mother Sarah, Aunty Kakuna, Monica. "Grandma at Minnesota Ave," Aunty Woman," The two Katherines." Taekwondo class, Aunty Victoria Michaels, Aunties, Uncles, and Friends.
As your Aunt Sarah concisely puts it: You are loved so much by many friends around the world you don't even know!

The ACT: Two as One

I call
You're appall
And hide
You whispered
“My ugly face”

Arms akimbo
Loud speaker
I say
“So What!”
“Fine heart, Ugly face;
Great mind;
Swift feet;
One harmonious beat”

You say “devoice”
I shout “rejoice”

“Two parts;
You and me;
Two halves;
That salves.”

You and Me

You say
Ugly face
I say
So what
Fine heart, Ugly face
Great mind
Swift feet
One sound beat

You say devoice
I rejoice

You say nay
I say yea

Two parts
You and me
Two halves
That salves

My Dream Radiates

I am a beautiful hearted-spirit; an envoy
Shelter for rest; providing renew strength
I am the prose illustrating martyrdom, victory
Poetry that captures profound sorrows, happiness

I am guide of the old, and the new
Create pathways so that we become alive
The beauty of connection brings creation
In me, the mind and beauty is a couple

I am the outlet for music and stories of wisdom
Lyrics of healing song depicts my strength
I am sung for happiness, prosperity, and love
Songs for beauty and peace exudes my light

The foot-steps in the dark of the night, it’s me
Not idle, nor indolent, incessantly dreaming
A beautiful hearted spirit; resilient, always outrivals.
I'll tell you, I am the dreams rising beyond life's ordinary

A Birthday Prayer For My Son

Today makes it four years
You first opened your eyes; our eyes met
From that day, four years ago
I saw in you my paradise,
That day the sky wore my rainbow

Four years ago
I looked into your beautiful eyes
Innocent, adorable, a big ray of hope
A delightful child, one of enlightenment
Like a prayer unfolded in my arms

Today you are four years old
A special gift from me to you
A little prayer for your birthday
To the giver of life, love, and The healer
To intercede, and keep watch over you

Dear God, I come before you
I’m on my knees, head bowed
To lift in prayer, my beloved son
Whom you placed in my care
On this day, four years ago

In celebration of his birthday
I lift him up to you today
Give him Angels to watch and protect him
Set right all milestones and skills
Mend all areas in his life with your blessings

Thank you God for this day
A beautiful and blessed birthday for my son
May all his dreams flower and bloom
Embrace him with love, directing his path
Guide him everyday, all through every night

Thank you dear God
For holding my son in the palm of your hands
Raising him above all setbacks, and trials
No more delays; always Good health, peace, and joy
For this child I love with my every heart beat

For you my beloved son,
I say, Happy fourth birthday to you!
I raise my glass to wish you well today, and always
You are always loved, wanted, and appreciated
So, from this day forth, let your light shine, my Prince!

To My Valentine

Some give candies and flowers
But you've made every day, moment, hours
Always a Valentine Day for us
By my side, always giving a smile
The cold, bareness lost in your smiles

Always bright, making me hopeful and happy
Happy enough to want to sing, and dance
I want to shout for the world to hear,
I am happy we are free to be happy
Tough time, but we did not surrendered
Not to the cold, the bareness, nor to the world

You are my Valentine; always will be
You touched a chord in my heart
And been with me all seasons
Your smiles rich, bright, always dazzling
Make me smile again, and again

Your smiles work wonders, my Valentine
And so, I want to fly around the world with you
We'll pass the winter, up to the summer sun
Explore the world, laugh and have fun
Because you're my child and my Valentine

You've filled my life with beauty
The essence of trust, friendship and joy
And if life should end tomorrow
I will have a beautiful smile on my face
And my heart filled with sweet dreams
