AS THE LAST SPEAKER, YM SHARIFAH HANIZAH THE YOUNGEST DAUGHTER OF TUNKU KHADIJAH, KNEW ALL THE PLATITUDES AND PRAISES WOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN SAID SO SHE WISELY COMPOSED A POEM!
THIS IS HER TOUCHING POEM CALLED "UNCONDITIONAL LOVE'!
"As we gather tonight among loved ones, family and friends
To honour you---first a mother, a grandmother, cousin, aunt and a friend
It has occurred to me there is no one quite like you
Who is loved and admired, a vision of beauty and grace
Who has touched the lives of those around you by your presence
And here I am
Standing before you
Struggling to find the right words, the right phrase, the right meaning
To let you know
That though time spent are few and far inbetween
Or that words a daughter meant to say
Are not spoken
But I think I do not have to express
How a daughter feels about her mother
For there is no greater love
On this planet than the bond between a mother and her daughter
For it is unconditional
Since the beginning of time
And I would like to thank you
For being the mother that you are
May Allah bless you with long life and good health always
Happy 80th birthday
And may you have many more birthdays to come
From me, Nazri, Liyana, Allysa and Hezrina"
WELL SAID AND DONE, SHARIFAH HANIZAH!
