Khadija Tayabali Poem
Recognize that the world is a beautiful place to live in
Recognize how your decisions affect people within
Search in their eyes the same fear that you have too
For we are all one kind the differences are created by you
Recognize that my fear is tangible just like yours
Recognize how these days I prefer to stay indoors
Consequences of assumptions that have turned into hate
The direction this country is taking scares me of late
I am a normal person just like you and the rest
My hopes and dreams are to achieve nothing but the best
Recognize that you are creating a divide so huge
It will be hard to come back then to seek refuge
My life involves my work, family and friends
We discuss everything from news to latest fashion trends
How then are we different when our actions are the same
How can you assume faith is what defines who I am
My mind has a thousand thoughts racing like the wind
Talent bespoken, I want to be that person one of a kind
How can I achieve this when my talent is not appreciated
Rather I am constantly made to feel that I am underrated
In a country that was known as the land of opportunities
What happened to the people why so many impurities
In your hearts, in your minds I think its time to listen to reason
My people love this country but are being blamed in this region

Khadija Tayabali Poem
On a day which is renowned for expression of love
I count my lucky star for shining on me from above
For blessing me a with a man who ‘s nothing short of an angel
This is to show how much you mean to me you’re so special
I couldn’t imagine life with anyone else beside me
You complete me in ways more than anyone could see
We may not be perfect together in the eyes of the world
But for me it is enough and forever we shall hold
You are my husband, my lover, and my best friend
Being with you forever is how I see my life end
Our life is a puzzle every piece of it I cherish
May we always be happy together that's my only wish
You share my hopes, my goals and my dreams
You believe in me and put me in such high esteem
Your support in everything I do is immeasurable
Because of you I am able to achieve the unattainable
It feels like forever since we first met as friends
Our love blossomed despite all our crazy trends
Little moments together that formed special memories
Our daughter will love to relive our stories
Despite our crazy roller coaster ride we call life
We find time for our special moments as husband and wife
Which is why I would like to say thank you for being there
For everything you do and for showing you care
May our love grow and flourish in time
I love you my husband, my one and only valentine
