This is one of those poems that break one open. I am always particularly pulled by the bond between you and your Maman - having two sons of my own. I hope they also get blessed to express themselves through art.

Dear Nazish,

This is a beautiful reminder of how you found your home here. Your presence makes Perhaps Yesterday a better place.

Love,

Mahdi
