The toughest the hardest the most beautiful of all
Is a soft smile on the edge of the lips that hides each fall
You may think you know somebody from the laughter you hear
But tip of the iceberg deceives so well you never notice the tear
The simplest the quietest the most sturdiest amongst feelings
Is inconspicuous care that quietly helps in healing
You may never realize the extent to which it can mend and repair
But if there is one action that keeps the world in motion it is care
The harshest the bitterest the most rashest of all reaction
Is a foolish temper that destroys the very fiber of emotion
You may either control your rage or be consumed by it
But anyone capable of angering you becomes your master bit by bit
The coolest the sincerest the most basic of all consciousness
Is a kind heart that knows hurt and still responds with gentleness
You may be vulnerable you may believe fortitude is a quality for the sage
But vulnerability is not our weakness it is our accurate measure of courage
The strangest the oldest the most avoidable of all sentiment
Is unfounded jealousy that indulges in loose talk for ears you lent
You may not believe everything you hear you may learn how to sieve
But at the table which speaks evil of others you are the topic when you leave

thank you boss! glad to have you back on my blog!
As salaam alaikum,
Farida, I can only reply to your poems when I can access the links! Generally I get the response,
“Bad request” or “Large cookie”
Please remember to copy and paste your poems and email me. It’s a hassle, I know; but that’s the only way I get the opportunity to enjoy your pearls of wisdom.
Salaam and duas,
