April my favorite month of the year. Such a beautiful month filled with images of Flowers and fresh Spring Air. To start off the month is the best day ever, the day I was born.
This year I'm 26. I crossed the quarter decade line and have lived to see the other side, Alhamdulillah.
So for this special day I'd like to dedicate it to my Father, who still calls me "My little April Fool".
Daddy did you know?
Daddy did you know this day would change the way you looked at the world?
Daddy did you know this day would always shine brighter among the many?
Daddy did you know such a tiny thing could grow so tall?
Daddy did you know you'd always be my gentle giant?
Daddy did you know I'd endure such pain and overcome it,
Like a yellow flower blooming after seasons of rainstorms and frost?
Daddy did you know no matter my problem,
You never failed me, always having a solution?
Daddy did you know I'd dream of the stars?
Daddy did you know I look to your example to grow my own garden?
Daddy did you know on my day I'm thinking of you?
Daddy do you know how much I love you?
~Brandy April Chase (c) April 2010
Today I feel very happy. I get to go to the Park today for a Picnic and see all my friends. I wish I had a yellow hijab to wear, or a white one with yellow flowers on it. It's incredible I don't own a bright yellow hijab.... ah well... insha'Allah by next year I will.
Happy Spring everyone and insha'Allah this year shines Bright for you.

Very refreshing, thanks a lot!

Thank you for the beautiful poem! Yes, you are my little April Fool! But, lest someone think that is derogatory, it is not! It should be more properly said that you are my little April Fooler! Because you invariably fooled us in so many ways while you were growing up. Who would have thought when you were 8 that you would learn to be so wise and thoughtful. I miss you very much, and, hopefully, things will work out that you and your family can come back to America in the not-to-distant future. Now that I am retired it may be a very long time before we can afford to travel to see you.
Love you!
Daddy
AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW DADDY:
I am Brandys dear friend and so thankful that she has you to lean on for support. My own Daddy is dead and I really could have used him right about now. But we all have God.
BIRTHDAY TO YOU BOTH! don't know who's more entitled to the joy the parent or child.

Happy Birthday! What a wonderful poem. I really enjoyed reading it.
I'm glad that you've been a Muslim.
In fact, no matter what geographic region that we live in God, but believers in the world before the world had been friends with them and God has chosen for His servants.
Do you know Imam Ali. Ali son of Abu Taleb. Perhaps his familiarity with life's second big change is you. I would recommend you to this great man and his wife Fatima show very familiar.
