greatpoetryMy greatest Need is You
~
Your hope in my heart is the rarest treasure
Your Name on my tongue is the sweetest word
My choicest hours
Are the hours I spend with You --
O Allah, I can't live in this world
Without remembering You--
How can I endure the next world
Without seeing Your face?
I am a stranger in Your country
And lonely among Your worshippers:
This is the substance of my complaint.
a very difficult night. I am lost and afraid. I've learned from my mistakes. I just wanted to thank others that post here because if I don't vent here, I don't know what I would do.
