Is just a piece of paper,
But it's  value makes the world dance to its tunes,
A paper that has power,
It creates status and its greed destroys humanity.
It can cause fraud and injustice,
Most importantly break relationships.
At my age and with my children abroad,
I sometimes need help from friends and relatives,
Like shopping, oversee repairs in the house,
ordering things online or getting things for me from overseas.
But I make sure I pay them in full for the favours they have spent on my behalf,
So next time they don't hesitate to help.
I only need physical help,
For me maintaining relationship is most important,
And sometimes when I am ignored help,
I just look towards Allah,
He finds a way.
