Blessed Posted November 18, 2004 Salaams, I've been exposed to some sweet sisterhood lately. Complete strangers caring for my wellbeing. So I share this with you. Keep the sisterhood alive, where ever you are Rock On Hijabee I saw her on the corner Waiting on the bus While the first drops of rain Dropped from the sky No umbrella Did she have And neither did I I was late for work But I couldn’t just keep walking And not stop by to Wave or at least blink My eyes The ties We share can’t be explained I don’t even know her name But when I look to her I see me Rock on Hijabee Downtown after ten I got caught in a jam Cars crammed And I knew I wouldn’t Make it to my destination As planned Anger ran Through me wild It was my child who saw her Sitting in the car Not far at all Heads nodded Smiles received A cooling sensation descended upon me The ties We share can’t be explained I don’t even know her name But when I look to her I see me Rock on Hijabee Lost in a building Full of careless stares My feelings were rare- Out of place and not at all safe I quicken my pace Hoping to get where I Need to be Instead She caught me And then lead The way Troubles forgotten My day Eased by the Kindness she displayed The ties We share can’t be explained I don’t even know her name But when I look to her I see me Rock on Hijabee By: Veiled Writer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blessed Posted November 22, 2004 The pleasure is all mine sisters. Rock On...!! Since we're on the topic Do any of you find Somali sisters (not all but a significant majority) stand offish. In the street, at school even in the masjid. I honestly think that Somali girls need to work on this. I went to an Islamic conference today; and all were sweet and loving...except the Cambaros, why are we so unfriendly? I thought, I was the only one; till my sister commented on how the Somali girls don't respond to the Salaam. Do any of the Nomads now what I’m talking about? Raula, *snif, snif* Sweetie, am so touched. Me loves you too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
- Femme - Posted November 22, 2004 ^^^OH MY GAWED..I feel the same walahi. I use to say salaam to every muslim sister I see on the street (no somalis in my area) and they would just ignore me or look away. THen I stopped. ITs sad really. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
