poem of self-assurance

[It's hard to figure out your own heart

but Allah knows inside out]

~*~*~

do you know what is big and what is hard

we do not know what to expect

except that we must keep on going

and life must continue

and things will pursue

do you know what is small and what is easy

that for Allah to provide

and for Allah to care

and for Him to arrange our affair

do you know what is simple and what is exaggerated

that you think beyond what you are

supposed to think 

or wish to 

undo 

all the things of the past

or that you try to 

change the future into

something it shouldn't be

so stick with me here

stay with me

and rest we assure

that we ain't changing

except for the better 

and that we are 

not going anywhere

except in this path, this very path

so we shall remain

and we will remain

cuz indeed, we are the same

*feeling rough

feeling tough

God help me

to You belong all mercy*
