Mislim na tebe
Selfless,
Strong-willed,
Mother,
Revered silence,
Gregarious,
Spotless.

What she always expressed to me
“mino cero”
“rodite nane tvoja”
“jeli te slusa mama”
“Kaces doci nani”

She was striking as the lighting
Prayed to Allah as the morning sun rose like a new born baby waking up
Prayed to Allah before she rested in her bed to energized for the next day
Isolated in her home not wanting to be in the outside world

Mislim na tebe
Selfless,
Strong-willed,
Mother,
Revered silence,
Gregarious,
Spotless.
