Happy Father's Day to all my "father" friends! 💖

It is so hard to leave this day go without raising the flag to my own dad, who celebrated my journey through life as long as he was alive. He was an amazing role model and is still my hero. But, the best or the most important thing and the greatest gift I ever got was his unconditional love. Forever and ever, Amen. Hands down.

I think we all love our fathers, but, I don't think we know the depth of it until they are gone.

Even though many places have been cleared to carry on as normal, please wear a mask when you go out and use proper social distancing.

Thank you for visiting! And just like that, this post is over! Come back tomorrow and we'll do it again! 💖 Don't ever forget what a wonderful world we live in, people. Some days, it is not as easy to see, how wonderful it really is. Kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do.

they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?

i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.

later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,

"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
