Pallete Expander Taken Off

A metal expander in your mouth
Struggle and pain
It's called a pallet expander
It's really insane

It helps you
And fixes your bite
But trust me
It can ruin your life

You talk really funny
As though there's a cage on your tongue
People don't understand
They think you're really dumb

It makes your bite even and your upper jaw wide
It makes your bones expand and your teeth easily slide

But this is a little metal monster
That traps your tongue
You cant pronounce letters
And you can't have much fun

But when the expander comes off
After what seems like a year
Your tongue comes out
And is released from jail
So there's no more need to wail

Disasters and Calamities

 Disasters and calamities are a test of the believer’s patience.

Calamities happen for many reasons. When you are going through a hardship you should not ask questions or be impatient. Instead, you should be patient and say "Surely we belong to Allah and to Him shall we return". Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un  (Arabic: إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ‎).

“Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? They were afflicted with severe poverty and ailments and were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who believed along with him said, ‘When (will come) the Help of Allah?’ Yes! Certainly, the Help of Allah is near!”

[al-Baqarah 2:214]
