* ALLAH *

Reference: http://www.haqislam.org/allah/

When things are down
And you are out of your mind
Remember just remember
Allah is The Kind.

When your life is in darkness
And nothing is right
Remember just remember
Through the darkness,
Allah is The Light.

When nothing makes sense
And your heading for demise
Remember just remember
It doesn’t make sense, but Allah is The Wise.

When times are troubled
And no one seems to care
Remember just remember
Allah won’t hurt you, He is The Fair.

When your heart is breaking
And your pain makes you fall
Remember just remember Allah Sees it all.

When you are weak
And the road seems long
Remember just remember
Seek strength from The Strong.

When life is a burden
And everything is unstable
Remember just remember
Allah is The Able.

When the way is cloudy
And there is no one by your side
Remember just remember
Allah is The Only Guide.

When no one wants to listen
Or is willing to lend an ear
Remember just remember
Allah is always ready to hear.

When you are poor and penniless
And you are stuck in a niche
Remember just remember
Allah is The Rich.

When you are down in your misery
And there is nowhere to run
Remember just remember
You can always run to The One.

And when your scars are hurting
And your heart is in fear
Remember just remember
Allah is really here.

* Gossip *

Reference: http://www.haqislam.org/gossip/

My name is gossip.
I have no respect for justice.
I maim without killing.
I break hearts and ruin lives.

I am cunning and malicious and gather strength with age.
The more I am quoted the more I am believed.
I flourish at every level of society.
My victims are helpless.

They cannot protect themselves against me because I have no face.
To track me down is impossible for you.
The harder you try, the more elusive I become.
I am nobody’s friend.

Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never the same.
I topple governments and wreck marriages.
I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights, heartache and indigestion.
I spawn suspicion and generate grief.

I make innocent people cry in their pillows.
Even my name hisses. I am called Gossip.
Office gossip. Shop gossip. Party gossip. Telephone gossip.
I make headlines and headaches.

Before you repeat a story ask yourself, is it true?
Is it fair? Is it necessary? If not— KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!
If you spend as much time praying as you do talking about others
behind their backs,
you would be further ahead Spiritually.

* Reflections of My Beloved Prophet *

Reference: http://www.haqislam.org/reflections-of-my-beloved-prophet/

by Sumaira MaghrabiSource: Islamic Poetry

My role model, my revered prophet
The light of God’s eye
It is by mimicking your actions that
I strive to live and die

If I can just be a mere fraction
Of the person that you were
My bounties, knowledge and goodness
Will indeed commence to incur

No single unbeliever (black nor white)
Can aid in your defamation
It is through God’s eyes that you are
The key to human kind’s salvation

O Prophet, my beloved prophet
The Seal of all who came before you
Your kindness, love and compassion
Cannot ever be surpassed nor eschewed

They have tried to denounce you
Yet your name is inscribed in the throne of God
Indeed they’ll never know love will surpass hate
And their plan to vilify you is flawed

They can say whatever they want to say
They will unfortunately never know
The love and admiration for you that
Will ALWAYS and FOREVER continue to grow.

* Muslim Only By Name *

Reference: http://www.haqislam.org/muslim-only-by-name/

I am a muslim but only by name
when it comes to practicing, what a shame!

I go to friends and relatives in suit and tie
it’s all right if i occasionally lie.

yes i practice but when it suits me
more to the point ,when it pleases the society.

if i show my ankles, they’ll point and laugh
they’ll think it’s too short and reckon i’m daft.

if i trim my moustache and grow the beard
they’ll reckon i’m a fanatic or something weird.

if i wear the sunnah i’ll get great reward
but the kuffar will look down on me, that i can’t afford.

yes i’m a muslim but only by name,
i make excuses, which i admit are rather lame.

yes i’m a sane man and i’m on the right track
who am i kidding, i feel like a right jack!

The best thing is no one can hear what’s going on inside
people think i’ve got it made and with my life i’m satisfied.

But i’m afraid this is a fable and it’s pure deception
i have no peace of mind but this i daren’t even mention.

if i remain ignorant it’s OK cos then i don’t have to practice
yes i’m convincing and these are baseless evil tactics.

But I read the kalimah and I think I have imaan
I can’t help my attitude I was placed in a Kufrastaan.

yes i’m a muslim but only by name
and with my precious life i’m playing a foolish disastrous game.

* Fast or Feast *

Reference: http://www.haqislam.org/fast-or-feast/

C’mon its time to pray
Magrib time is moving away
Just wait Im almost done
Please just 1 more savory bun

Remember Salaatul Awaabeen
An opportunity for us to strengthen our Deen
Just 6 Rakaats, hardly much pain
And 12 years sawaab to your name
Just wait! My samoosas are running away
Don’t forget I was fasting the whole long day!

Some time for ALLAH’s words wont you spare?
It’s the month of the Qur’aan, don’t you care!
What! These pies I can’t waste!
My favorite I at least have to taste

Some Zikr to enlighten your heart?
A few moments for taleem wont you part?
Not now! A good time it doesn’t seem
I’m just about to tuck in to my delicious haleem

The month is over much too fast
And 1 more Ramadhaan has already passed
Wasn’t it such a spiritual feat?
Oh Definitely! But atleast now I can eat!

* The Real Orphan *

Reference: http://www.haqislam.org/the-real-orphan/

The real orphan is unruly
yet he thinks he acts coolly
He loves to rant and rave;
is it attention he craves?

Who has produced one so errant?
surely it is the hopeless parent!
The father too busy in the shop
the mother buying another shapely top!

The parents cares for him not
letting him to lie and rot
If one has to about him complain
the parents says; ‘surely my angel isn’t to blame!’

To the parents I say; ‘if you leave the nanny to bring up your child,’
‘do you expect him to behave other than wild?’

* The Purpose Of Life *

Reference: http://www.haqislam.org/the-purpose-of-life/

What is the purpose of this life?
Money, holidays, a beautiful wife?
There is no point in us denying
Each heart beat brings us closer to dying
You’ll breathe your last
Your life will have past
Don’t pretend
Death’s not the end

You will taste death, death never waited
Look around you, everything’s created
It has a creator, it has a meaning
A mother gives birth and then comes it’s weaning
The sun rises and gives us light
It sets, then falls, the blanket of night
The plants all grow, when falls the rain
They give fruits to man, and they too will wane

Why does man think that he will get away?
Spending life aimlessly, as if he’s here to stay
A fixed time is appointed, everything will perish
Everything you hate, everything you relish
Except the Almighty Allah, He will remain
And then will come judgement, all on one plain

Allah will say, I gave you life
I gave you health, wealth and a wife
What did you do with your time?
What did you do in your prime?
Did you spread my message, did you spread islam?
Why not? Did you not read the Quran?
My friends, we muslims, we are so blessed
Allah gave us islam to supercede all the rest

My non-muslim friends, the Quran must be read
Read before it’s too late and you’re dead
You owe it to yourselves, it will make you cry
You’ll know these words are from the Lord most High
Instructing mankind to the purpose of life
And the reward my friends is everlasting life

Our purpose is to worship our Lord most High
The reward is heaven where no one will die
You’ll have anything you want, all the best dishes
And Almighty Allah will grant all of your wishes

This life my friends is just a cage
We should live by His orders, to be safe from his rage
You will understand when you read the holy Quran
You’ll know the religion of truth is islam
Protect yourself and your families from hell
Embrace islam and all will be well
For the deeds of this life, you’ll pay the price
In the depths of hell or in paradise.

* Remember *

Reference: http://www.haqislam.org/remember/

O’ you who love to party and rave
Remember one day you will go to the grave

Friends and guys wanna be in your ‘crew’
Remember the darkness and loneliness of the grave awaits you

Fashion and clothes you love to adorn
Remember the day will come to sound the horn

Raised up will be the whole of mankind
Our deeds presented from ahead or behind

If from in front – to Jannah you are shown
From behind – into Hellfire you will be thrown

Trust me, now is the time to toil and sweat
Before in the hereafter you remorse and regret

Accumulate many good deeds whilst still alive
For the pleasure of Allah continue to strive

For this, Inshallah, Jannah is your reward
Repent now, come and worship your Lord.

* Read The Qur'an *

Reference: http://www.haqislam.org/read-the-quran/

So brothers and sisters, to increase your iman
Read the miracle, read the Quran
Here’s a fact for the ones who are keener
92 surahs revealed in Mecca, 22 in Medinah
Read it every day and to read it be proud
The word Quran means to read it aloud

Read the book from the Lord of the worlds
Over 6,000 verses and 77,000 words
Read with respect, no disturbance, no laughters
from Al Fatiha to An Naas, all 114 chapters
And in it 14 times you need to prostrate
And say Allah ho Akbar, meaning Allah is great

In this book, 25 prophets are mentioned by name
Who came at different times but their message was the same
This miracle was revealed over a 23 year span
Sent from Allah (swt), to an angel and then to a man
That man was Muhammed (saws), the best of creation
And we are proud to be part of his nation

He gave us a message and that was Islam
So read this miracle, read the Quran!

* Divine Wonder *

Reference: http://www.haqislam.org/divine-wonder/
by by Zoya Eitezaz Ahmed

Quench spirit’s thirst
Satisfy soul’s hunger
Read the noble Quran
Be a part of divine wonder

It has wisdom in orders
It has knowledge in stories
Peace is its message
Having solution to worries

With its beam wants do not wander
With its shadow tongues do not waver
Countless are its benefits
A witness of Allah’s favor

Read it once, twice or thrice
It never loses its freshness
Strange tales never become old
As they stand proud in uniqueness

Lives stitched on its fabric
Homes built on its soil
Will be placed in best lands
An Honest reward for their toil

Killing the beast inside you
It brings out your purest form
Washing away waste desires
It clears obsolete norms

Never astray it will lead you
Nor wandering it will leave you
Hold on to its rope firmly; and
Your name will be in the ‘Few’.

The search man is involved in
End on its door,
Stepping into its world
He needs to search no more.

* Hell *

Reference: http://www.haqislam.org/hell/
by Ahmed

If only you knew the torments of hell
It is the worst of places where anyone could dwell

It is in existence even as we speak
And for its inhabitants the outlook is bleak

On the day of rising, hell will be in view
A terrible sight, if only you knew

It will be brought forward by 70,000 reigns
And 70,000 angels will be on each of those chains

After burning for a thousand years , it's flames turned white
A thousand more years, now it's as black as the night

You think the flames are bearable, you're totally wrong
The flames are of hell are sixty nine times as strong

In a flash it will disintegrate all of your bones
The hellfire will be fuelled by man and stones

The thickness of your skin will greatly increase
Causing your threshold for pain to greatly decrease

The people in hell are there to stay
They will melt to nothing, 70,000 times in a day

70 years it will take, for a stone that is thrown
to hit the bottom of hell and it won't be alone

The food of hell resembles a devil's head
and to drink, boiling water and blood bright red

which cuts up the bowels, everything will fall out
the inhabitants of hell will scream and shout

some will be taken out by Almighty Allah's command
but the polytheists will stay eternally damned

Take up islam, the only way to succeed
and if you don't, you're unfortunate indeed

Brothers and sisters, help determine your fate
Once you see hellfire, it'll be far too late.

*Am I Grateful? *

Reference: http://www.haqislam.org/am-i-grateful /
by Ahmed

Am I truly grateful for each breath that I take,

For each and every moment that I am awake?
Do I thank Allah for my restful sleep,
And for the dreams that cause me to weep?

Am I honestly thankful to the Almighty One,
For the early morning mist, the bright, rising sun?
During Fajr prayer, I use my soft prayer mat,
As Allah’s servant, do I appreciate that?

Throughout the day, do I realise,
That Allah, All knowing and the Most Wise,
Gives me what I need and so much more
And that I have so much to be grateful for?

A grandmother’s love, a book of hadith,
The clothes that I wear, the food that I eat,
The book that I should follow, the Holy Qur’an,
Promoting the good and ending the wrong.

So I must ask myself every beautiful day,
Am I truly grateful for each breath that I take,
For each and every moment that I am awake?
Do I thank Allah for my restful sleep,
And for the dreams that cause me to weep?

By Ibn-e-Malik (Voices Issue 7)

* Evil Glance *

Reference: http://www.haqislam.org/an-evil- glance/

Cast an evil glance
Shaytan begins to dance

For an arrow has been shot to the heart
And a darkness has enveloped it

After the glance, the darkness leaves
but the heart is adversly affected

Only the effect of sincere taubah
can return the unblemished heart to
the pure condtion it enjoyed before.

* Teen Crush *

Reference: http://www.haqislam.org/teen-crush/

by Ahmed

O young Muslim
I hear your story, so grim

You have given your heart
To a teen crush, soon to depart

The time will soon come for it to end
Tears, remorse and regret it will send

Deep emotions of anger and hurt
As you feel like a piece of dirt

But why do you fail to see
Allah has given you this opportunity

To turn away from this detested sin
Repent, and start a new beginnin’

From lewd behaviour become shy
Seeking forgiveness from Allah, do cry

Remove from your heart the lust dirty
And instead put love of Allah in your breast plenty

For this is the path to success
Jannah, the Muslims eternal address!!

* What Happened To My Youth *

Reference: http://www.haqislam.org/what-happened-to-my-youth/
by Ahmed

What has become of my tender youth?
Forsaken to sins and evils is the truth
Given over to pleasure and lust, day and night
Forgive me Allah. I hear and tremble with fright

What will happen to me?
Only Allah does know
In Hellfire will I burn
Or receive the Jannah that I yearn

Allah, from You forgiveness I seek
And make me amongst the meek
Ya Rabbi show me the way
To live my life as the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) did say

And on my deathbed allow me to pray
The kalima, and have me not go astray
From the Siratul Mustakeem
And in Jannah inshallah my face will beam
Ameen.

* Wake Up! *

Reference: http://www.haqislam.org/wake-up/

by a dear sister

“Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar” you hear the athaan go on.
But you still decide to procrastinate, even when your family yells, “Come on!”

You think, “I still have time, before I really have to pray, ‘Asr is still hours away.”
Your head is saying “Go” but the Shaytaan is saying “No” so you go on anyway.

You go to your bed and decide to lie down, for just a few minutes you say.
But when your head hits the pillow, your body is overcome by a feeling, different than any other way.

You suddenly feel hot and nervous, and your throat is parched and dry.
You hear a voice call, “Why did you disobey me?” But you are unable to answer why.

Suddenly your life flashes before your eyes,
And feelings of guilt and regret are becoming hard to disguise.

Images and thoughts run through your head,
If only you did more useful things, but you wasted your time instead.

Every ill word you said, and every prayer you missed is presented,
If only you took life more seriously…if only you repented.

You say, “I didn’t know any better, I never knew to take a closer look”
But the voice replies, “Yes you did, you had The Holy Book.”

“In it you will find the meaning of life, and words of inspiration.
And the perfect example for mankind, the Prophet who received the revelation.”

“This life is but a stage, a mere drop compared to an ocean,
“So think not of the worldly things, and make sure that in your heart lies devotion.”

You wake up suddenly, alarmed and quivering.
“I wasted so much time!” you think, “good words and prayers I should be delivering.”

You pray, and then afterwards do some reflection,
And you decide to give your life a thorough inspection.

This life is so unpredictable; it can vanish very soon,
All that you see will perish, and only your deeds will remain with you.

So hold on to the Qur'n and the way of the Prophet (saw) for salvation,
And do not delay what you must do, remember Jannah, the ultimate destination.

*I Am That Hijaab*

I am that Hijaab
That cloth, that fabric
That symbol, that fear
In People's eyes
why does she wear it?

I am that Cloth
Bound
Gripping around her head
Secure but comfortable
Strong but delicate
Covering her hair, her eyes. her neck

I am that Fabric
Pinned gracefully around her head
Protecting but alleviating
simple but beautiful
Displaying the beauty within, the pride within, the soul within

I am that concept
Placed gloriously around her head
Fierce but merciful
Unyielding but blessed
Compelling the wearer to go on, the onlooker to pause, the bystander to ponder

I am that Liberation
Wrapped
Graciously around her head
Desired but attained
Unseen but felt
Refusing the persecution, the unwanted glares, the harsh words

I am that Freedom
That concept, that liberation
That freedom, that serenity
In her eyes
That is why she wears it.

Aatifah Shareef

*The Believer*

A believer knows and sees

arises from pure justice

conversing with his Lord

the wording, the sword

awaking from heedlessness

a request for forgiveness

an absolute and complete love

and his soul will soon leave

The relief from distress

a life of unimaginable bliss

a fertilizer for sowing seeds

doing plenty of good deeds

Rasulullah(saw) a role model

indeed Allah sanctify his soul.

*The Holy Qur'an*

It's just a book;
Mind you taking a look;
it will prevent you from Nar's hook;
Even if you are just a mere cook.

It's words are inspirational;
To success it does call;
Read it instead of going to malls;
Preventing you from Jahanam's walls.

The book is greater: Due to the words it contains;
The reward later: Too much you gain;
A dwelling better: Next to a beautiful garden.

When you read: This book of Allah;
A letter ten good deeds: By the will of Allah;
You will have achieved: Say Alhamdulillah.

If to read: Your state should be clean;
If to follow; Your actions shouldn't be mean;
If to teach: You should be very keen.

The Final book sent to the last messenger;
Muhammad SAW not Arsen Wenger;
Read it escpecially when in anger.

A book so Holy: Revealed to our Rasul;
Put in a trolley: Are you a fool?
Use it as your ally: You will be cool.

*A Muslim Woman*

[Written By: MuSLIm gIrLx]

She conceals her beauty
Obstructs the radiance from seeping through
Cloaks her conductivity
Refuses to submit to the worldly desires
Preserves her attractiveness and charm
Protects the diamond within
She is left savorless
Banal
Insipid
Vapid
Yet she remains veiled.

She is ridiculed by prejudice
Mocked by displayed beauty
Taunted by the devil.
It shatters her patience
Lowers her self esteem
But only for a split of a second.
She remains veiled.

Its strange
Incomprehensible
Yet marvelous
It's faith

Thanks To Allah

The world made me blind, but that opened my eyes to ALLAH..

The world made me deaf, but it opened my eyes to hear the words of ALLAH..

The world made me a slave but that leaded me to be free by following the Sunnah of the prophet Muhammad (SAW)

The world made me a sinner, but that made me admit to ask for forgiveness,

So all this time I thought the world hated me, proved to be true love, Love of ALLAH!! ♥♥♥ :) :) :)

I Love Allah : Striving Heaven

[Written by: Salma Omar]For You I live and for You I'll die,
in this life do my best and try

Stay on that path You have prescribed
not that which society in my head has imbibed

Every good deed I do is in Your name
because for Your great heavens is what I aim

I thank You for the blessings You've given
and for all sins and bad deeds You have forgiven

I thank You for always being by my side
led me and been my One and only Guide

I pray all good I do You approve
and always in my deen and iman I improve

Only You in this world do I praise
every time I pray and my hands I raise

I hope that in my mind will always be the hereafter
and the characteristics of the prophet's wives I take after

I hope on Qiyamah I'll receive my book in my right
and stand with my face shining so bright

InshaAllah by those who do good I will stand
and away from the acts of those which You have banned

Grant me the Jannahs in which rivers flow
and please make my soul and face on that day glow.

For You I will always be a slave
through the hardships and high waves

So Allah... for Your forgiveness I plea
because Your mercy and forgiveness are the only key

To Your heavens which You've promised to the righteous believers
and not Jahannam promised to the nonbeliever

The Beauty Of Hijab

Beauty of Hijab You look at me and call me

oppressed,

Simply because of the way I’m

dressed,

You know me not for what’s

inside,

You judge the clothing I wear with

pride,

My body’s not for your eyes to

hold,

You must speak to my mind, not

my feminine mold,

I’m an individual, I’m no mans

slave,

It’s Allah’s pleasure that I only

crave,

I have a voice so I will be heard,

For in my heart I carry His word,

“O ye women, wrap close your cloak,

So you won’t be bothered by

ignorant folk”,

Man doesn't tell me to dress this

way, It’s a Law from God that I obey,

Oppressed is something I’m truly

NOT,

For liberation is what I've got,

It was given to me many years

ago,

With the right to prosper, the

right to grow,

I can climb mountains or cross the

seas,

Expand my mind in all degrees,

For God Himself gave us LIB-ER-TY,

When He sent Islam,

To You and Me!

I Choose To Follow Allah

[Written By: MuSLIm gIrLx]

• I choose to follow Allah •
despite others opinion, despite others judgment, despite others whispering, despite others look..

• I choose to follow Allah •
falling to my knees, putting my eyes down, living His Word as the air I breath, being His Blessings the blood in my veins…

• I choose to follow Allah •
surrendering to His Love, claiming for His Forgiveness, asking for His Compassion, enjoying His Grace…

• I choose to follow Allah •
thanking for every step I take, greeting everyone I meet, conscious of my ignorance, trying to be my best…

Dont You Know?

[Written by: Kolchuma Begum]

Don't you know???

That one day you’re going to leave this world and go.
So haven’t you ever thought,
What’s going to happen to you in Allah’s court?
You might not think its relevant now,
But Allah’s going to question when did you prostrate and bow?

So you see,

That this world is only temporary.
So cherish every moment,
Even when you are in mistreatment,
Because life is the ultimate test.
And Allah knows the very best.

Now all you have to do
Is place your trust in Allah,
And He’ll be there for you.

Remember to keep Allah in your heart,
So you don’t fall apart,
Because the hardest thing will be
When you say, why did this happen to me?
And you’re going to want answers,
When things don’t go your way
But you've forgotten that Allah’s already given you chances,
Then what will you say?

Just repent, and ask for forgiveness
Because Allah is the One who gives happiness.

So, I hope you understood,
That there will be good,
If you just be faithful
And Allah will be most Grateful.

Now that you see,
All you need to be
Is Allah’s devoted Slave,
Then it’ll be you, whom He will save.

Proud To Be A Queen

By: ‎"I appeal All Muslims to Join "Back to the Masjids Movement"-Insha Allah

I AM A QUEEN!

Oh Muslim Women, Don your veil’s

Be safe from the glares of Na Mahram males!

Oh Muslim Mother, protect your beauty, guard your chastity

Draw over you the jilbaab that conceals completely!

OH My Muslim sister, The women of the west are not the best

Darkness is their dress, no light do they possess

Oh Muslim Women,You are a queen within your home

On the streets, for all to view you do not roam

Oh Muslim Mother,with Jannah as your aim and Imaan as your weapon

Stand tall, be proud , you're a believing woman!

Oh my Muslim sister,Let them mock, let them jeer,

it’s all that they do!

You have what they do not ,

and that is the fear of Allah within you

I am Muslim women, let me say it aloud

I bow my head, lower my gaze and and remain in my protective shroud!

* I Say......*

By: Allah Is Our Only Hope

I say: "It's impossible" but realized: All things are possible

I say: "I can't do it" but realized: I can do all things

I say: "It's not worth it" but realized: It will be worth it

I say: "I can't forgive myself" but realized: Allah WILL FORGIVE ME

I say: "I'm afraid" but realized: Allah did not grant me a spirit of fear

I say: "I'm not smart enough" but realized: Allah granted me wisdom

I say: "I'm worried and frustrated" but realized: I can cast all your cares on Allah

I say: "I feel alone" but realized: Allah will never leave or forsake me

I say: "Nobody loves me" but realized: Allah LOVES ME

My Sins Block My Du'a

[Written By: I Love Qur'an]

As I sit here alone, the tears rolling down my face
It is not salt, but pain that I taste

So I leave now to go stand before You
I am helpless and alone, what else can I do?

I have asked, I have begged but my sins block my du'a
I will come now still begging, forgive me O Allah

Forgive me and grant me what it is that I ask
For me it is impossible but for You a simple task

I try and I try but I do not succeed
But I understand and know it is because Your Words I do not heed

I hear, yes I hear but I do not always obey
Perhaps that is why I am destitute, isolated and why You have written that I will be alone this way

I have no to blame but the person in the mirror I see
No one else must pay for my sins, no one else, no one else, no one else but me

So I stand before You to again beg forgiveness because You said that I can
You have told us in Your Book that You are Ar-Rahman

I will ask, I will beg but my sins block my du'a
But I will keep asking, forgive me O Allah...

Allah, In Your Love

[Written by:- Umara Saleem]

I traveled on hand and knee
Upon the scorching unconquerable deserts

When I had my head turned away from You
The famine in my soul, unquenched,
Remained with Your every bounty

There was a ripping of my soul
With my descent away from You
Like the Moon loses a part of itself
As it leaves its rightful place

The sweet Winds carried Your name to my body
Falling upon my self made deaf ears

I was Ignorance
A hollow reed

I tried to stomp my connection
But my ever faithful soul
Escaped my treacherous body
And flew to Your keep
My every cell cried Your love

My heart was senseless
Without Your presence

Still, life reverberated in me
Held up by inescapable threads
That will always bind me to You

With Your infinite touch
My thirsty eyes drink sunrises, sunsets
Captured, enraptured by Your beauty

My smiles pay homage to Your greatness
My ears are ever alert
Seeking threads of Your praises
Spoken by Your lovers
Both Man and Nature.

*My Prayers Were Answered*
