Light Upon Light
F or it is what lies beyond
A ffair and matter
R endering the soul with Light
A ttaining value in heart and mind
H umbling one’s core to succumb
A glow with faith in word, in action
L ife of lore, wisdom, and thought
B ringing succor in days of anger
R esting peace in days of fear
A betting in need, in dismay, in grief
I now shall endeavor to remit, to pray
K eep my promise to Thee, Allah,
I shall live…I shall strive... I shall be…
Dedicated to an inspiration, a friend,
