Life Line

lifeline poems for mothers

By Affaf Sheikh

When I close my eyes;
And image my life without You
Ammi….
My heartbeat for a second stops…
And I realize what your presence means;
Meaning to my worldly existence
Originator of my life*
The way you
Heal my soul**
Enhances serenity & you
Remain calm in every
Situation
You are the reason… I
Dare to
Achieve my dreams
Yes…
Today, I admit that
The bond we share
Is never ending cycle of our connection
Birth…Death…Rebirth
This is how my heart beats

* The ultimate originator (creator) is Allah (azza wa jall). He has created everything, however he begets nothing (لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ).

** The ultimate healer is Allah (azza wa jall), Ash Shafee.
