A Legend in her time !
****************************
She
is a legend in her time!
One who stood out
As an example to others
Proud of her people
Proud of her heritage!
She is a legend in her time!
A maker of peace
Re-uniting a nation
Once torn apart
By greed and by pride!
And forgiving a nation
Who once stood against her
To achieve material wealth
For their keepsake!
She is a legend in her time!
She has raised a family of
Talented and gifted children!
Each with creations unique!
Yet, two have revealed creativity!
The youngest and the oldest,
Of inspiring talents!
She is a legend in her time!
She was put to the ultimate test!
She has raised a son
Born with an extra challenge
Who brought her to tears!
Yet, he was inspiring,
Motivating and moving
For he kept her going!
She was a legend in her time!
She was greatly blessed
With a gifted and talented
Young girl, who was
Heard early in her life
Whose options were wide open
Which will never be,
For that child was lost forever
And taken away
At a young and tender age!
Whose grave was dug
With her tearful good-byes!
She is a legend in her time!
And despite her hardship and sorrow,
She stood out strong and tall!
Holding her head high!
Reaching out to the rich
And to the poor!
Re-uniting a people of a single tongue!
Flowing so radiant And helping all walks of life!
She is a legend in her time!
She is loved by many
And wherever she goes,
The red carpets are rolled out!
She is greeted openly
The big star!
Seeking every heart!
For she has won the hearts of many!
And she will win many more!
She is a legend in her time!
She has reached fame!
She has been known
By many different names:
The Legendary One!
The Ambassador to the Stars!

And all the nations
Know her by one name:
Fairouz.
