THE MANY HATS I WEAR
Dr. Haseena Kabeer
In a room filled with restless minds,
Where dreams take flight but often unwind,
I stand not just as a guide or sage,
But a doctor, mending hearts at every stage.
A doctor I am, with no stethoscope in hand,
Treating their wounds, helping them stand.
When their spirits break, I sew the seams,
Nurturing hope, rebuilding dreams.
I’m a psychologist, reading between the lines,
Listening to stories hidden behind their signs.
In their silence, I hear their calls,
Guiding them gently, lest they fall.
But most of all, I am a mother to all,
Catching them each time they stumble and fall.
I scold when needed, but with a gentle touch,
For after the storm, I comfort them music
I pamper with love, after lessons are learned,
For every mistake is a wisdom earned.
In their eyes, I see the future bright,
I shape their world, I ignite their light.
Through the chaos, the joy, the tears,
I walk with them through their fears.
For though the road is tough, I know,
In their hearts, the seeds I sow.
A teacher I am, with many roles to play,
In each of their lives, I find my way.
For in their success, my heart takes flight,
In their journey, I find my light.
