HAPPINESS
This is it
This is the life she will live.
And it’s all she has got to give.
She will never leave.
But she is contented.
Just what she recommended.
A happiness she created.
For her heart will never be tormented.
The glitz and razzmatazz of the outside.
Would mean nothing to her otherwise.
Because to her, this is just good and nice.
And she will not have it otherwise.
A NIGHT’S PRAYER
​
In the dead of the night,
Not a soul in sight,
And the heart is filled with fright,
The Jinn come out to play,
And the witches go after their prey,
All I can do is pray.
Oh God of creation,
I ask for your protection,
Against every bad intention.
Be with me throughout the night,
Until the morning light,
And in Your glory, I shall arise.
BLANK
My life is blank.
My heart is heavy.
I feel pain in my chest.
Hurtful things run through my mind.
Why? I asked myself.
But the answer is clear.
I have no one to blame but me.
Brought this on myself.
Now, I am paying the price.
Will there ever be light at the end?
They say the darkest hour is just before dawn.
I hope this is the darkest,
‘Because I can’t take no more.
I hope I will use the lessons I have learned,
and pray God to be beside me
