Evertheidealist

For my Precious Evertheidealist...

"We have been dear friends, and now you're going
Far away for many months
But please don't leave me without knowing
How I feel as your time nears.
I know you're older, more mature,wiser
And far beyond me in so many ways.
But there's between us something pure by Allah’s grace.
That has given me these beautiful days and memories
I thank you for the joy, for the care for the warmth of your laughter
That your sweet friendship's brought to me.
Think of this poem as an embrace
That says, "I love you" Our reunion I await my precious friend

I am sure anyone who knows Evertheidealist will agree she is truely a blessing to all those who know her. The Emirates will have you for a while but know that Manchester mourns your parting and awaits with an eager heart your return.

Assalaamo aleykom sister, I found out about your blog via somali blogs via qarxis.com( I think :S, it was a while ago). Anyway, everything that is Somali interested me, because I'm one myself. Your blog's name attracted me at somaliblogs, because it somehow reflected myself.

Enough about that, I find your words very wise. I'm proud to be having such sisters, with such mature look at the world. I agreed with your post 'a dying world', I was nodding all the time while reading :P.

If you want to know, I don't live that far from you. I'm from the Netherlands, that little country next to the UK :D.

Keep up the good work! I hope a lot of people read your posts and become wiser.

I don't have a 'blog' like blogger or something, but feel free to visit my website(just click my nickname).

I bookmarked your blog, so I'll come by in the future insha Allah.

Wa aleykomo salaam.

Wasalam flower-girl

I really don’t know what to say expect am humbled that you like my words…I went to visit your website and for a about a minute I thought the text was in Somali, I almost panicked because I didn’t understand any of it. Till I saw a tiny little union jack which low and behold after a click transformed everything into English! Excellent ( in a Wayne’s world voice).

Jazakallah khayr my sis. Keep in touch

If your ever in the neighbourhood my mum makes delicious food:)

Idealist:

simply put

we love you x x x

@ nm:

Haha, did you really think that? I don't think it resembles Somali. I can read it, but don't understand more than the daily-talk words. So if I hear Somali news on the radio or read it on the internet, I'm lucky to understand 30 % of it. It is truly a shame, I know :(.. please hit me or something.

I'm determined to speak arabic and somali fluently in the future insha Allah!

And then I am gonna teach you, hehe... and eat your mum's delicious food as a compensation :P.

I'm sorry for being off-bloggic...

Wa aleykomo salaam.

NM said...

Flower-girl. It really is a shame my somali is appalling i am sure i have the reading age and liguistic ability of a 5year!

I have every intention to sort this out...but right now arabic comes firs then somali and then at some point inshallah spanish and am done ;)

You're not the only I see... my parents keep nagging about that to me and my brothers en sister. But then I say it's their fault, they should teach us the language, since we haven't lived in Somalia for more then ten years and grew up as little children in this country.

But gair insha Allah ;). If you have the will, then there is a way. Maybe we should register at a somali forum, where they only talk somali or something like that :P.

Wa aleykomo salaam.
