I wake up to a roof over my head
You wake up to bombs in your ears
I walk to the kitchen to make food
You walk around looking for food
I get ready to start my day
You get ready to survive your day
I think of how much your life isn't the same
I go out to work
You go out to live
With kids gone to school
While yours stay with you
And as I live my life peacefully
I think of how much yours isn't safe
I live in guilt knowing you lost everything
I still have my family
You lost some of yours
A roof over my head
While you live in tents
With myself in warmth
You in freezing cold
I think of how much you had to struggle
I live in guilt and shame
Knowing I have everything
You have nothing
I still have a home
You may have lost yours
I took it for granted
While you remained thankful
Even in tough situations
And everyday I am reminded of things
Of how much this life isn't forever
It's temporary knowing death is around
To remind myself to be thankful
No matter the situations
Big or small
Good or bad
I thank Allah for every blessings
Because without Him, I'd be nothing
Without Allah, I would be lost.
I thank Allah for this short life
Knowing the next one is better
If I pass this test, Jannah is forever
And we both know it's home
For those who are good
Who listen to Allah's commands
Greatful in knowing we suffered a lot
And with every hardship, comes ease
And Jannh is full of ease
And Jannah is our final eternal home.
