Fasting and Me
I have been fasting in full
Every Ramadan month’s call
I do feel hungry and thirsty
But sometimes uncomfortable
But I like anything doing it
I put it my heart and mind
I persevered and be patient
Eventually it stops the problem.
Fasting makes my body feel good
It benefits my health and well being
I can keep my fasting firmly
Not asking my non-Muslim away eating
If they do even keeping my faith
It doesn’t mean disrespect
It is to me a test of my faith
I do love this for Allah’s sake.
I do see a lot them eating and drinking
But I don’t get tempted to do
Even sometimes I am teased to try
Then we get a good laugh
Then my fasting remain
I don’t need to pretend
My fasting won’t disappear
Even when I see sip their drinks.
