Crippled Yet Free
Crippled
Legs confined to a metal frame
Free
Mental soul swimming in a sea of knowledge
Heavenly pursuits fuel her
Position in Al-Firdaws move her
She sits, unable to stand
"I've got it good," she chimes.
Pity
An emotion unsought for
Du'aa
Simple request asked for
Heavenly pursuits remain her companion
In the Sight of Allaah to be champion
She sits, unable to stand
"I've got it good," she chimes.
Blessings
Appreciated not overlooked
Life
A gift often overlooked
Heavenly pursuits keep flames burning
Uncovered rocks she keeps turning
She sits, unable to stand
"I've got it good," she chimes.
