"Do Not Cry, My Daughter"
As she grew older
Fatima witnessed, near or from yonder
unending vengeful harassment
against her Father
It was times of trial, agony and suffer.
To these...
she gave even greater support
to his beloved Father.
Looking after his needs
provided him with solace and comfort.
Umm Abi-ha
the mother of her father - so she was called
Most often the trials were too much for her
Once, an abusive mob heaped dust
upon Rasul gracious head.
When he came home,
Fatima saw what happened
and broke into tears
as she tenderly wiped the dust
from her father's head.
"Do not cry, my daughter," Rasul said,
"for God shall protect your Father".
