Like warmth in harsh cold weather A lighted candle in dark forever Like cool breeze, in hot summer A strong shelter when it's thunder Like an empathy in time of despair And a guidance out of nowhere Like a hand always holding me tight And a beautiful prayer for me to recite!" #MywordsOnMycanvas Saima Qureshi ©️
