You would wish to be me
If but you felt an ounce of what i feel
To see what i see
To know what i know
You'd realise what real love is
You'd understand the reason behind all your smiles
You'd not waste your tears due to heartbreak, lies, loss or such trivial matters... for the tears that will fill your eyes would only be that of gratitude, amazement and humility of God's love, mercy and forgiveness
You'd understand that everything happens for a reason and be it good or bad... it happened and we move on
You would go down on your knees and thank the lord for your life, health, family and safety… for how many people are bereft of what we have and take for granted
Today, I watched a boy no older than 6 lose his mother from cancer,
Saw his tears mixed with his father’s pour down there faces as they hugged each other as though they were each other’s lifeline,
Saw the little boy crawl into a ball and tremble with anguish,
And suddenly it dawned upon me that this little boy has lost his hero, protector… his life
I turned and searched for my mother,
My heart beating frantically
Until she stood in front of me looking more frantic,
Scared that something happened to me… scared that I might have left her… an 18 year old who still depends on their mom, who stills needs there mom to come with them to an appointment
From that day on I vowed to show my mom each chance I got how much she meant to me,
Can you tell me when was the last time you hugged your mom or just said you loved her to just see her smile?
Just be Thankful
That’s all.
What I feel? Content with what I have and thankful for what’s given to me, Submissive to a God with greater power than I, humble with myself and towards others and scared that I won’t be promised heaven…
What I see? A world where every creature lives to please God, where trees, plants, animals, sun, moon all play a small part of being who we are in some little way… I see a big family, doesn’t matter if your black or white, or with different nationalities or cultures
What I know? That no-one lives forever, even kings and queens die… even celebrities die, no-one is better than another. That one day we would face God… see his beautiful face. I know that everyone no matter who, wonders what will happen to them after they die and hope for something, somewhere better than this world… this place.
My real love is God, because I know that whatever happens through thick and thin his there, supporting me, listening to me… he never lies, never cheats, never breaks my heart. He loves me back unconditionally and shows me every day by giving me life, family and everything. Who can compare to that?
You wish you were me… a Muslim.
