Our Holy Fatima

Fatema beloved special daughter of the Holy prophet 
In an age and place which treated daughters so brutally 
our prophet stood up to welcome Fatima 
whenever she entered 
and kissed her honourably, fondly.
Known as the Lady of light  , Fatema our lady of light
Oh my luminous luminary with a halo so bright
Our guiding star lady however dark may be the night
You embody the symbology of sacred femininity in reality
A role model for the feminine,  noble Queen of luminosity
Much have we learnt from your auspicious short 18 years of life
You were the greatest lady mother and wife
You showed the world what is sacred about the feminine 
And how every woman is and can be a sacred pure feminine
The quest for her holiness  is a grand ritual of life

She taught women how to respect their bodies
And make others respect them too
For chastity is vital to physical health
And helps to  prevent the various dangerous STDs

She was Fatimah the most pure and the chaste
Without her values womanhood would be spent, laid waste

She is our empress who impressed us without material crowns
She was an angel without wings and bid every woman dress
In flowing regal gowns
And Fatema's name and fame has spread to the farthest towns

Her own piety and chastity  an epitome example brilliantly forever shines
She's our lamp post, her luminosity more than diamonds from mines

Oh in Fatemah  the whole womanhood ought to take pride
Stand up and salute her to eternity
The best woman the best daughter, sister the best women's guide
She's the best role model celebrity.

I find it very amazingly miraculous that just today my hubby was relating to me how Fatema the daughter of the holy prophet was invited by affluent Jews to their weddings in medieval times and how she became famous among Arab Jews also with regards to the Fatema flower of birth too and then I spot a remarkable contest on the name Fatema by a non Muslim poet here today only. Amazing and has left me surprised at the coincidence of it all. Best wishes.

I replaced the old poem haiku type with a new poem on Fatema The older haiku was as follows: We are headed To another galaxy Hereafter ain't earthbound
