IT’S 2020
WELL, ANOTHER DECADE HAS PASSED
WHAT HAPPENED IN THOSE 10 YEARS REMAIN IN THE PAST
BUT WE SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON THE HERE & NOW
WE MAY NOT HAVE ANOTHER DECADE TO BLOW
SO, LET’S THINK ABOUT THE YEAR JUST ENDED
DID YOU ACCOMPLISH WHAT YOU INTENDED?
DID YOU GAIN IN WISDOM AND STRENGTH?
OR WERE YOU SWAYED AND CONVINCED BY A FEEBLE EVENT?
WERE YOU FAITHFUL TO YOUR CORE AND BELIEF?
OR DID 2019 HAVE YOU RUNNING AND SEEKING RELIEF?
I CAN’T SAY THAT LAST YEAR WAS SUCCESSFUL
I HAD TOO MANY PERIODS OF BEING STRESSFUL
I LOST A LOT OF PEOPLE I LOVED
I STARTED TO LOSE MY FAITH IN THE ABOVE
I SEPARATED FROM FRIENDS OF THE PAST
I WAS SHOCKED AND ROCKED WHEN I LEARNED LOVE DIDN’T LAST
I THOUGHT I KNEW WHO WERE MY REAL FRIENDS
AND WASN’T SURE HOW TO BEGIN AGAIN
I FINALLY GOT BACK TO WHAT WAS ALWAYS THERE
MY REAL FRIENDS, MY MUSLIM FAMILY AND MY PRAYER
YES! 2019 ENDED MUCH BETTER THAT IT BEGUN
I STARTED TO HAVE SOME REAL FUN
I BEGAN TO SMILE AND LAUGH AGAIN
I REMEMBERED WHAT I HAD AGAIN
I REMEMBERED TO BE THANKFUL FOR LIFE, FOR FAMILY, FOR THE LOVE
OF
MY
LORD
SURELY, I WOULDN’T HAVE MADE IT WITHOUT HIM
YES! 2020 WILL BE BETTER, MY MAN
I KNOW THIS BECAUSE “MY LIFE” HAS RETURNED AGAIN…..
