To my daughters Maria 7 and Huriya 5 who are in Addis, awaiting permission to reunite with me in Sweden.
When tightly gripped by feelings of loneliness
Nothing soothes better than the eyes of a child
They symbolize the images of love
Captured in a frame of romantic bliss
A look at my daughters´ eyes quietens my soul
Delivering me from the pain of seclusion
Sheltering my heart with a fence of peace
But the sparkle is dead deep in their eyes
As my eyes only meet theirs in a portrait
Dangliing on the walls of my cold room
Warmed with the hilarity of blissful dreams
Abdi Noor, you wrote this with such passion and longing for your family! It makes my heart ache for you,and I pray hard for your reunion soon! That last line is splendid!Keep the dreams alive!
"the hilarity of blissful dreams" -- separation is bitter when the heart holds many fond memories of our children -- peace and love -- may you soon be reunited with them, Abdi-Noor -- Jon Michael
i didn't realize you were going through this horrible seperation. Hopefull, when your children are grown, the world will be a better place, and tragedies like this need never happen again. i know you miss your children terribly and I hope one day soon you will be reunited.
Maria's 7 now? Wow. Remember when she was but a babe ... and Huriya, 5 ... they grow up in a hurry! Praying you are re-united with your daughters, your son, your family, so you don't miss another moment SOON - beautiful write, Abdi-Noor.
Abdi, This poem was written with such love of a child. No one can imagine your pain and sorrow, not being with your children. Separated by so many miles and the danger that faces them daily. I pray for their safe return to you and you are once again united as a family out of harms way.
Your words always move me..
Peace, love,and light,

New Poetry by Abdi-Noor Haji Mohamed (Eagle Of Hope)
The familiar lament of dual-career parents raising children is, "I just can't do it all." The Libra Solution provides an alternative - a more satisfying and sustainable work and life approach - to the overwrought modern day norm.
A wicked Cajun Fairy named Robes Pierre entered the impenetrable Magical doll land of Sha Bebe. Queen Faustina, the ruler of the doll land, thought she had destroyed him, but he's back! Will the doll land survive his evil ways?
Such beautiful words for such a sad situation. I hope that you are all together again very, very soon. Be well, Liz
Love,
Eileen
