I DREAM TO BE

Sister Maryam

A page in the book of history
An eagle soaring high and free.
A squirrel leaping from tree to tree
The dolphin swimming the azure sea.

I yearn to know -

The glow of love within my soul
Companionship as I grow old.
The warmth of friends banishing the cold
The meaning of life without being told.

I ache to find -

Tranquility within my mind
An oasis of calm in the desert of life.
An island of hope in the ocean of time
And a way to Mekkah before I die.

I long to see -

People freed from fear and savagery
Creatures saved from lives of misery.
The light of Allah coming for me
As I enter a realm of complete liberty.

All these things I dream to be...
