A LOVE LETTER TO MY BRETHREN

I am awakened by the rays of the sun
Beautiful songs of birds being my alarm
The fragrance of flower's necter and the morning dew fill my lungs
And with hearty laughs my day begins
Yet outside the window of my beautiful world
I see the pains of my brothers weakened by illness
I hear the cries of my sisters and children torn by war
For we are one Ummah and when one is hurt all is in pain
Yet I know only a drop of the ocean of pain,that they swim in day by day
So I dipped my quill in ink and penned a love letter
Folded in a kite and secured in the arms of the wings,I sent these words Hopeful that it brings with it petals of peace

"With so little offered when we should have done more, this Ummah recalls all that you have lost but still we send our love on the wings of dua'a praying that in Janna it all makes sense as you rest in the Prophet's embrace while wearing crowns of countless stars."
