Mama,I did not mean to make you cry.

Baby's name: Mariyam Alkeen. She is just 8 days old.

I may not be the perfect person you want me to be, but who will embrace me other than you? Who, other than you, will cover me? Who in this world will guard over me, other than you?
The only reason I live today is you, O' Mother. The only reason I live for, today, is for you. I may be less with words but.... love is all I have. Its all I have. Forgive me I have not given you enough.

● Here is a song I always loved. Which is called Bohemian Rhapsody, by Queen. I was watching American Idol the other day and this inspirational new singer Michael Johns originally from Australia, sang his version of the song. Completely blew me away.

    bulhaa appreciate it. Like Ansel Adams said, A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed. I try to do that in each capture.

    Very cute shot.. If you make the white part on the left black you have a perfect low-key portrait. It would make the picture very special.
