~ Please don’t let me, give up ~
Please…
Don’t let me give up
No matter how bad the fall
I have to learn to walk again
A painful stand
Begins with a few steps
Each step taken with tears
Barely can hold
I end up falling
In silent scream
“How could walking be so hard?”
These trials seem child’s play
About to accept my falls
“Was I meant to stand again?”
Agonizing to let this thought pierce my brain
I’ll have another try
Please …
Don’t let me give up
My will - my strength
Pushing against all -
This time, I’ll stand and walk!

When you are on verge of giving up, it’s the need of those who you love around to just give you a reminder “Despite the hardship, you can not let go of the rope easily”. This is a call if we see someone who we love and care for and they are giving up whatever hardship they are in- please remind them to not give up. Living is not about the heartbeat of our heart, or breathing through our lungs, its about not giving up in the face of any struggle of life.
This poem is to share with Breast Cancer Awareness month
Its great news that we were able together with the support of DHL Oman and Community Development Corporation of Tanzania to print BSE (Breast Self Examination) in English and Swahili to spread awareness in Tanzania.
The leaflet was nothing but a group effort that made the leaflet possible and I owe my appreciation to Anne Marie (a great friend who took time to do illustrations for the leaflet), Said Al Kharusy (for Translation in Suwahili), Hamoud Hilal Al Jabry (For proofreading and his tremendous support), Ms. Elieshi and the ladies of Community Development Corporation of Tanzania for all the leg work to distribute the leaflets to the women in Tanzania and Embassy of Tanzania in Muscat (For their kind effort to support the campaign).
I was truly touched by
Oman who had reached out to support our effort to spread awareness. “Thank you DHL Oman”
