I want to be Khadijah(RA)

Maulidur Rasul or The Celebration of The Birthday of The Prophet Muhammad PBUH, was celebrated few days ago. Being the reference of mankind, the Prophet Muhammad is the perfect example.
In the conversation with Hajah Siti Ramlah binti Arifin the other day, Mak mentioned that the women can always refer to the prophets’ wives. Mak named two, Khadijah(RA) and Aishah(RA). Mak said from Khadijah(RA) we can learn about sacrifice and obedience. Aishah(RA) is known of being smart at knowledge, she learnt the fastest and was very bright.
This is an excerpt of a writing entitled RASULULLAH (S) IN THE SIGHT OF OTHERS by [Shamim A Siddiqi, New York] . I found it in the internet.

One day Rasulullah (S) returned to home too much downcast and depressed. His beloved wife Khadijah (RA) asked him (S), “What’s the matter?” He (S) said, “A caravan had come in the vicinity of Makkah and I could not help the people as I had nothing”. Hearing this, she asked him (S) to call for all the tribal chiefs of Quraish at home. Rasulullah (S) went out. Meanwhile, she collected all her cash wealth at a place in the house. When the tribal chiefs gathered, she told them that, “Today I am giving all my wealth to Muhammad (S) to spend the way he (S) likes and you all are the witness”.
* A little while afterwards, Arch Angel Gabriel (AS) came to Rasulullah (S) and informed that Khadijah (RA) is coming to you with a glass of milk, tell her: “Allah has sent His Salaam to her and tell her that He had built a house of pearls for her in the heaven”. What a marvelous tribute was paid to her by Allah in recognition of the services of both the husband and the wife in the way of Allah for His deprived humanity. [May Allah bless both of them] Later on, this aspect of his (S) public life was eloquently confirmed by Khadijah (RA) when the first Wahi came to him (S) in the Cave of Hera and he (S) expressed apprehension that he (S), might be destroyed. Khadijah (RA) recounted his (S) humanitarian services one by one and said: “Allah will never destroy you as you are doing this and this for the oppressed and the deprived selflessly.”

I want to be like Khadijah(RA) so I wrote this poem… :D

Kau juga tidak akan mengerti

Kau juga tidak akan mengerti
mengapa Khadijah jadi sebutan
pengorbanan jadi sanjungan
ketaatan kekal diingatan

Kau juga tidak akan mengerti
mengapa Aisyah si pipi merah
membentak marah
atas kasihnya terhadap Khadijah

Kau juga tidak akan mengerti
mengapa aku bersusah payah
untuk jadi seperti Khadijah
yang tidak luput dari kenangannya

Kau juga tidak akan mengerti
yang dalam mencari Redha Ilahi
jadilah seperti Khadijah
seorang isteri kepada seorang suami. . .
