WE ARE TOLD GOD IS MADE IN OUR IMAGE,
ALL POWERFUL AND ALL SAGE,
CREATED THE BLUE SKY, AND DIRT EARTH HEDGE,
AND CREATED MAN FROM CLAY,
AND MADE NIGHT AND DAY,
BUT WHO IS GOD, FOR REAL?
WE DONT KNOW THE SILHOUTTE,
DOES GOD HAVE HANDS OR NOSE?
GOD MUST HAVE EYES, BECAUSE ALLAH IS ALL KNOWING.
BUT I KNOW THIS- ALL IS ALL MERCIFUL
ONE DEFINING TRAIT IS COMPASSION.
HEART LIKE NO OTHER THAT EVER CREATED OR EXISTED.
MANKIND, THE LUCKY ONES WITH THE BESTS HEARTS,
WHO ARE KIND, AND LOVING, AND GENTLE, AND FORGIVING, AND NONE JUDGEMENTAL.
MULTIPLY THAT WITH INFINITY- THAT IS GOD.
ALLAH IS ALL MERCIFUL. AND THOSE WITH HEARTS OF COMPASSION,
ALLAH WILL FOREVER IN PARADISE PROMISE THEM ALL GOOD FEELING,
TO MATCH THEIR BIG HEARTS OF PURE GIFT FROM THE MOST MERCIFUL!
ALLAAH AKBAAR!
I WAS INSPIRED TO WRITE THIS POEM WHEN I SAW A 3 YEAR OLD BOY CRY FROM A SAD SOMALI SONG. THE BOY COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THE WORDS, YET TEARS CARE RUNNING ACROSS HIS SWEET CHEEKS. HE WAS ASKED IF THEY COULD TURN OFF THE MUSIC BUT HE REFUSED. THE MUSIC AND MELODY IS WHAT TOUCHED HIM, NOT THE WORDS. A HEART OF FEELING CAN ONLY BE A GIFT FROM GOD!
