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, Farah Al-Braiki
