The following is a nice, heartwarming poem about motherhood...Enjoy!

Before I was a Mom...

Before I was a Mom,
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.


Before I was a Mom,

I had never been puked on,
pooped on, chewed on, peed on,
I had complete control of my mind
and my thoughts.
I slept all night......

Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child
so doctors could do tests, or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night
watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because
I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.

I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom,
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond
between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom,

I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache,
the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,

before I was a Mom......

A Talk by Ustaz Zaharuddin Abdul Rahman - 25 May 2009

A religious talk was organised by Puan Noor Hamidah Mohd Tahir and hosted by DPR Puan Siti Hajjar Adnin for Perwakilan members and family. The guest speaker was Ustaz Zaharuddin Abdul Rahman from Wales, UK who spoke on "Kesempurnaan Solat" and Islamic Banking. Members may wish to view Ustaz Zaharudin's blog at http://www.zaharuddin.net
where he elaborates on the issues and questions raised during the talk.

As usual no Perwakilan event is complete without delicious treats prepared by Members. "Jamuan moreh" was served before Ustaz said goodbye.
The session with Ustaz Zaharuddin provided much important and beneficial information. Perhaps more such events could be organised in the future.
