Khadija

Khadija my daughter,
Education is a weapon,
To war with illiteracy,
Confidently tread,
Never be shaken
You will be respected.

Let no one pull you down.
You are a unique fierce lioness
Gladly accept the challenge
And always choose your books
Education will open doors
Success will be your portion.

Dreams are achievable and valid
Let your efforts always yield
Dreary days will soon pass
In those scrubs and with those needs
I'll gladden to see you in
Proud, I'll be as I see you succeed

Poet's note: This is a special poem to my student who has been more of a daughter. Her name is Khadija Ahmed 2023 Coast Star Academy. I know it may take her time to see this poem but I really want to make her feel special. I believe that the ambition of becoming a doctor will one day come true.
