We Stay Close

[Many things part, but true Muslim sisters, stay close]
As the wind blows the petals
Away from the dandelion
Spreading to lands near or far
We stay close.
As the engine pushes the train carriages
Away from the stations platform
Mercilessly leaving passengers behind.
We stay close.
As the mothers wave off their children
Away to foreign soil.
Tears in eye, handkerchief in hand.
We stay close.
I am blessed to share this life with you.
I am willing to spread this love to you.
Best of all, I am happy
That we stay close.
