Mercy
In the first 10 days of Ramadan
On my fortieth solar return
God showed me Mercy
I found scattered pieces of me
Somewhere in Maryland
I felt a mirror of my soul in their voices
They told me my story plainly
My forever prayer answered
in a few short moments
It flowed easily from their mouth
Finally, I know their names
They say sweet, soft words
They want to see my face
My tree is complete
I stand stronger
And taller today
because of His Mercy
When Allah takes something from you, He will always replace it with something better for you.
Consider it Mercy.
