Twelve
years,
and
I’
m
still
just
a
man
learning
how
to
speak
Learning
how
to
say
what
my
heart
holds
so
deep
For
you,
Khadijah
Twelve
years
of
seasons
passing
by
our
door
Through
every
battle,
you’
ve
been
the
anchor
and
more
Supporting
the
dreams
that
I
held
in
my
hand
When
the
world
was
shifting,
you
helped
me
stand
Our
Abdulrasheed,
Rahama,
Niima,
and
Ummusalma
You
raise
them
with
grace,
you’
re
the
calm
in
the
drama
I
know
I
don’
t
say
it,
the
words
often
fail
But
you’
re
the
heartbeat
of
this
life,
without
fail
And
I
know
I’
m
not
the
type
to
wear
my
heart
on
my
sleeve
But
you’
re
the
only
reality
I’
ll
ever
believe
Khadijah,
my
queen,
no
one
else
takes
your
place
Even
in
the
shadows
of
the
mistakes
we
might
trace
I
am
right
here,
I’
m
standing
by
your
side
With
nothing
to
fear
and
nowhere
to
hide
I
see
the
potential,
the
greatness
in
your
soul
I
believe
you’
re
meant
for
more,
to
reach
your
goal
And
if
you
stumble,
or
if
the
road
gets
too
steep
I’
ll
be
the
promise
that
I
intend
to
keep
Our
love
languages
differ,
I
know
I
am
slow
To
show
you
the
depth
of
the
seeds
that
I
sow
But
look
in
my
eyes
when
the
silence
is
loud
You’
re
the
light
in
the
dark,
you’
re
the
sun
through
the
cloud
And
I
know
I’
m
not
the
type
to
wear
my
heart
on
my
sleeve
But
you’
re
the
only
reality
I’
ll
ever
believe
Khadijah,
my
queen,
no
one
else
takes
your
place
Even
in
the
shadows
of
the
mistakes
we
might
trace
I
am
right
here,
I’
m
standing
by
your
side
With
nothing
to
fear
and
nowhere
to
hide
Twelve
years
is
a
start,
not
the
end
of
the
line
I’
m
grateful
to
God
that
your
spirit
is
mine
Better
than
you
are,
you’
ll
grow
even
more
I’
ll
guard
every
step,
I’
ll
open
the
door
No
woman
could
replace
the
love
that
you
give
You’
re
the
reason
I
strive,
you’
re
the
reason
I
live
And
I
know
I’
m
not
the
type
to
wear
my
heart
on
my
sleeve
But
you’
re
the
only
reality
I’
ll
ever
believe
Khadijah,
my
queen,
no
one
else
takes
your
place
Even
in
the
shadows
of
the
mistakes
we
might
trace
I
am
right
here,
I’
m
standing
by
your
side
With
nothing
to
fear
and
nowhere
to
hide
Just
know
I
am
here
Through
the
mistakes,
through
the
fear
Khadijah,
always
you
My
wife,
my
heart (
