Sitting On The Banks Of Reflection
Your smile, my child, I love your smile,
It takes me to a sunny place,
And if you hold it for a while,
I’ll feel its warmth upon my face.
Your laugh, my child, I love it so,
I’m taken by your mirthful eyes
To where the babbling waters flow
Upon the bed that never dries.
And when our journey is complete,
Will you and I walk hand in hand
With him who all the angels greet
With all the praise his names command,
To, on the lush eternal banks
Of sweet reflection, realize
The golden sunshine of a smile
In silver streams of mirthful eyes.
As we beseech in Paradise:
Ilaahi, send your prayers and peace
Upon the dearest of your friends,
And on his blessed family,
And all of his companions.
Save Your Soul
Love him that you too may be loved,
Miss him, and you’ll be missed;
Just long to kiss his hand that might
Your longing face be kissed.
Despise him for eternal hate,
And slander him for shame;
Avenging angels long await
Who desecrate his name.
Yet he, without the bounds of time,
Within his place of rest,
Is eagerly awaiting you
To be his honored guest;
For on the Throne encompassing
The seventh firmament
Is One whose love for him exceeds
The sum of all love spent.
Exchange now all your hate for love,
And know the man you don’t,
So that a mercy from above
May save the soul you won’t.
