physical possessions


 

There was a girl who was hit by  a flood

Covered with mud

And blood 

 she begged for aid

Hoping to persuade 

All those that claimed to be conveyed

In his religion in his way

But they only displayed

Their power over her

Showing off what  they thought they earned

But little did they know 

That it was Allah's blessing to them

For him to give and take as he pleases

 

One day the rich came and looked down at the girl

Ew covered in mud

Wrecked in a flood

And so caked in blood

They all hurried away

 

But this little girl grew 

her lord gave her power

Wealth

And status

And she used it for good

To give away food

And help those with wealth

Lesser than hers

 

One day the girl saw an orphan 

So she gave her a portion

Of the wealth she was granted

In the orphan she planted

A tree

Worth more than all that

Money could buy

How could she deny

What the lord implied

All she could do was comply

 

So don't be sad

When you aren't given power

Rather be glad

For everything else 

Just remember things are aren't always as they seem

The lord the supreme 

Might just favor you 

So maybe they have wealth

But he gave you health

 Everything isn’t in parallel
