The written pages of Taufik's birth book
I managed to write this book for Taufik in one seating. I hope once I have returned back from Malaysia, I will be able to find the time to put it together beautifully with pictures, get it laminated and binded ready for the nightly readings that I am looking forward to. Well here it is, everything true and factual, though admittedly not necessarily the final draft.
Taufik Johan Henriksen, our son.
Far & Mommy were so sad and lonely
We so much wanted a little baby,
And so we tried and tried and tried,
To search for our baby, far and wide.
Till one special day, we met a lady,
Nine months pregnant with a little baby,
My darling Taufik, that baby was you,
We were filled with a happiness that was so true.
Ummi ****** was the lady’s name,
When she gave birth to you, we gave you a name,
“Taufik Johan Henriksen” Far said joyfully,
We both agreed that “Taufik” you’ll be.
Opah & Mak Ngah, to the hospital they went,
To pick up Taufik, as Mommy had sent,
Good bye Ummi Noor, we’ll see you again,
It’s time to see Mommy, she’s coming by airplane.
At the airport Taufik was asleep in the car,
Waiting for mommy, waiting for Far.
Mommy came and kissed Taufik softly,
Held you in her arms, embraced you gently.
When Taufik woke up, Taufik was hungry,
It was time for milk, Taufik breastfed greedily.
Mommy smiled, kissed Taufik’s little ears,
And thanked Allah for answering her prayers
Some days later, Far too came along,
To see his baby son, he’s waited so long.
Far slept with Taufik, with a smile on his face,
Thanking Allah so much for His bounty and grace.
Oh Taufik, Oh Taufik our handsome little son,
At last, at last, our family is together as one.

what a beautiful poem...
get the book together! am sure taufik would love it!
That is so sweet Nina. I am so happy for you to have this gift of life. As for us, we are happy too. It was difficult in the beginning but we treasure the moments spent with Jasmine and can't wait to see how she turn out to be. We will not push her but gently guide her to anything she wants to do in the near future.
