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.

Iris E. Sankey- Lewis January 25, 2016 at 12:31 PM Fasting is not for everyone. I see strength and discipline and good sharing. I once fasted for three days. the first two was the hardest; I went out and jogged four miles on the third day and glided through the air, it was fantastic. Light and pleasant experience. Thank you for stopping by my page. Neldy Jolo January 25, 2016 at 10:58 PM Thanks much Iris. Appreciate your write. Will always love poems. Your poems have the hearts.
