Returning

I observe my behavior, it it right, is it wrong.
I pray to my Lord five times a day.  I fast for ramadan, shawwal and muhuram.

I am not perfect, yes I commit sins.  I seek forgiveness and I feel remorse.  Money has no 
meaning, deed are whats needed.  When I go what will I take with me?
My money, no
my clothes, no
my car, no
my deeds, yes.

We came from dust and to the dust we are returning.

I think constantly about my actions and what comes out my mouth.  I try to be patient, calm 
and kind.  I give to charity, i smile even when i am down.

When I go, what willI take with me.

My jewllery, no
my home, no
my pride, no
my deeds, yes

We came from Allah and to him we shall return.

I hope and pray my deeds take me to the garden and not to the fire.

We came from the dust and to the dust we are returning.
