LIFE'S JOURNEY

 

LIFE'S JOURNEY

Maulana Dr. Waffie Mohammed

 

At first I existed unknown,

Before my infancy.

Then I grew flesh and bones

After mom's pregnancy.

 

It took some time for me to know

Life's not all that you see;

As many things are just for show,

And there're lot of hypocrisy.

 

I grew up feeling unimportant,

Emotionally I was suffering.

I was treated as an indigent.

In all that was happening.

 

I worked hard by day and night,

To improve my condition.

I exerted with all my might

To better the situation.

 

I walked through life's lonely journey,

Undertaking may challenges,

With little help and no money

I stepped through many entrances.

 

As God's favours began descending

I climbed the ascending stairways,

The down trodden I kept helping

To avoid the dirty pathways.

 

There're ups and downs in life's journey

For those moving along

Frustrating it can be for many

Some helplessly falling down.

Striving in Paradise to dwell

I carefully tread the path
