She's the sunshine in my life,
A friend who's always there.
The one who lifts me up
When life seems hard to bear.
She's the laughter in my day,
The joy in every smile,
A constant source of comfort
When things get tough for a while.
She's the one who understands me
In a way that no one else can,
Who listens to my every word
And always has a plan.
She's the one who knows my secrets,
The keeper of my heart,
A true and loyal friend
Who's been there from the start.
She's the one who shares my dreams,
My hopes, my fears, my doubts,
A confidante and companion
Who never shuts me out.
She's my girl, my friend, my partner,
A precious gift from above,
A treasure beyond measure,
My forever girlfriend, my love.
About the Creator
Inshallah
Istanbul is a city bristling with life, a place where past and present, sacred and profane, intertwine under the watchful gaze of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque. As I explore this crossroads of cultures with Maya, my nine-year-old niece and the daughter of my late brother-in-law Frank, and my wife Nadia, Frank's sister, I find myself on a journey not just through Istanbul's history, but also into the depths of my own beliefs. Staying with Maya and her mother Elvan, my sister-in-law, I begin to see the city anew through their eyes, and to understand why James Baldwin said it "revived" him.
