Mother Again

I AM A MOTHER...AGAIN. Each time of the three, I have given life, there is always something new about it...my daughter Iman Mayari made her way to this world on May 9th...almost on the steps of my building, but we made it with time to push three times and have her in a more sanitary place.

I always pick a song for my kids to sing to them. Amir's was "Redemtion Song" by Bob Marley; oddly enough Rami's was "Hello Tomorrow" by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs...and now Iman's is "Love Song" by the Cure and revived tastefully by Adele.

Although I am with all three so often...I still am alone with Miss Iman every night...and she makes me feel whole again, fun again, young again...among many other things. Thank you Iman.

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you
