Ayah

In the name of God, most Merciful, most Beneficent.

Ayah always say, "Most people learn, some will gain knowledge. But too few have wisdom."

Oh my Lord, we pray to You.

Grant us the opportunities to learn.

Grant us knowledge.

And, grant us wisdom.

To keep away from what is sinful.

Do what is virtuous.

For Real

** Indiana Dunes, summer 2009 **

In the name of God, most Gracious, most Forgiving.

Things are not perfect right now.

But her feelings and love for him will always be perfect.

Starting Point

last night, i went to where it all began.

stepping off the elevator, i felt my heart trembling.

books stacked high,

stress and frustration was eased by your presence,

but last night, i was alone where the books stacked high and the stress and frustration surrounded me.

The Perfect Rose

In the name of God, most Gracious, most Loving.

Between the pages of their story, love rained on her...

I took you to the valley of the roses

and they bowed to your beauty

For it was not the roses that gave you

your scent, but you the roses.

It was then that I knew of my love for you.

Your innocence and wisdom transformed each rose.

As it did me. We held hands and ran to

the top of the valley. The sun rose for

us and its light surrounded our bodies.

I put my arms around you and kissed you.

It was then that I knew you were worth the wait...
