Meadow Green

Khalid Mukhtar · January 26, 2024 · Leave a Comment

You look at yourself and you find
The pain is just too much to bear
It's shattered your body and mind
And pounded you into despair

Your words don't come out as they used to
Your thoughts are not formed as you like
But know each contender you lose to
Is bracing you for the big fight

Recline on the truth that all things
All come from a singular source
Each joy and each grief that life brings
Is for you intended of course

So give your attention to Him
Who's turned His attention on you
And fill up your heart to the brim
With patience-infused gratitude

There's comfort for you in your tears
So cry up a bountiful stream
And soon you will see your boat nears
The sands on the shores of a dream

Then life as it must be will be
More real than you've ever seen
And in a lush meadow you'll see
Her waiting to meet you - your queen

Salawaat helps the meadow stay green.
