I'm not sure whether I can or I will make enough time to write a blog here; but this page looks a bit EMPTY so I thought I'll just post some of my favourite poems here. FYI; khaleel el-wafy is my pen name. It's Arabic and means a faithful or loyal companion.

THIS LITTLE BOY

This little boy has turned two
this little boy knows how to play with you.
This little boy loves to sing and dance,
disappears when you call him at a glance! :)

This little boy loves you very much
he hugs and kisses you,
laughs and smiles a lot
but his tantrums test your patience
oho, it makes you feel bad
driving you mad;
Oh God, grant us patience
he's just a kid and that's that :)

This little boy loves sweets,
and sweetness is everything he has
when you drop a tear
or whenever he senses something bad
and aha, he's that sensitive sensory device
one just like daddy has! :)

This little boy has just turned two
... but mommy feels like he's growing so fast
and soon he'll say bye-bye to you. :(
But time flies and changes lives
for good; if you search for the truth
for blessings; if you love because He tells you to :)

This little boy is my precious little gem
Oh God, give him courage
grant him wisdom,
let him apprehend
that he's here because of You
in a journey returning to You.
Let not him fall, let not him stall,
in his quest of finding You.
Let him crawl,
let him walk,
let him run
to and with You.
