3/11/11 Update:  poem  published on Dear Little Auntie.    ***   Hello readers,     I can definitely say this week is better than the rest of January, Alhamdulillah! I'm taking a creative writing class and our first project was to write a memoir. While writing I was inspired to write a corresponding poem:    Cover Girl    That girl...  inspired by so many women,  women that cover.   Seeing them, wanting to be...  like them, with them.   That girl  taking the step  to become that covered girl.   Tough times came  being stared at and questions asked,  even being poked at.   But being in a sisterhood  they helped pull through  knowing God is who to please.   Through time  she became stronger,  more confident;   she became free.  (inspired on Jan 27th, but written on Jan 28, 2011).    thank you,   Fida    
Let your heart heal.
