Nurturing mother of two, 
A compassionate sister to three, 
Making the ‘rents proud of as can be, 
Loving plants and nature so utterly, 
An AWI hiking leader meant to be. 

CRNA by day and singing at night, 
Trying to do what is right,  Even if the day wasn’t all bright, 
Allah’s got it and it’s always alright. 

Frequently balancing a busy plate, 
Continuously learning not just by fate, 
True wealth is in sharing from my one’s own crate,  Preparing for the day when presenting at the gate.
