About the Poet

Aisha is a budding poet from Al Noor Center. She has a keen interest in writing poems. She has written a poem entitled ‘Be Determined’.

Be Determined

There will be doubters, critics and nonbelievers.

Listen to them, but don’t stop trying.

Take it as a challenge and keep going.

Wake up each day thinking about your desires.

There will be days when you will fall,

But remember to rise.

Some days you will be encouraged,

Other days you will be discouraged.

Failure is important in order to succeed

Keep reminding of the beautiful achievements you will have once you reach your goals.

This process will not be easy, there will be many ups and downs.

You will get memorable lessons, and some blessings.

If you are determined anything is possible.

You can reach the sky,

If you try.

But I promise it will be a sweet journey to rely.
