Dear Blue Eyes!! (Rifa Fathma)

Dear Blue Eyes,

I'm so grateful to you for coming into my life,

And for teaching me the meaning of 'life'

Thanks for teaching me about Deen,

Or else, the beauty of Islam would have gone by me unseen.

I always fear hearing the sound of thunder,

Thanks for telling me to enjoy the rain and just wonder.

I have gone through a lot of horrible nights,

Thanks for guiding me towards Allah's lights.

There were times when I was really sad,

Thanks for stopping me from going mad.

There were times when I was depressed,

Thanks for letting me know that the anger should be suppressed.

I don't know I shed how many countless tears,

Thanks for helping me to overcome my fears.

Thanks for making me understand the meaning of Salah,

I would have never communicated with Allah.

Being a shy girl I'm, I never knew how to use violence,

Thanks for showing me that problems should be solved with silence.

My thoughts were like "life is not beautiful",

Thanks for encouraging me by saying, "Be You The Full".

Thanks for making me strong and helpful like a tree,

Now I'm flying like a bird. I'm just free.

Thanks for teaching me how to live like a bird,

Or else everyone would have seen me like I'm absurd.

The strength to fight that I couldn't muster,

Thanks for coming into my life as a sister.

I see myself in danger in my future,

Thanks for showing me my bright
future.

Thanks for coming into my life as a sister,

And for introducing me to my Mister.

"Life is nothing but a hell" was my thought,

Thanks for changing my thought and for everything you taught.

You taught me how to handle the problems by a fight,

Thanks for always being on my side.

You never let me see your sight,

But, I guess, not showing your face is also a kind of diet.

What is the game that you are playing?

I know that you are an angel... Just saying.

Stop playing. I hope it's your last strike of rolling the dice.

Reveal the secret face behind those blue eyes!!

~Maira Sulaiman.
