There is a place in which I love to be
When I cannot reach my mother’s comforting arms.
There is a place in which I love to be
When I think of the sparkle in a child’s eyes as he prays with his father…
There is a place in which I love to be,
When the stars are bright, the night is calm and my heart is light…
When I’m blessed with success
When I’m warm in my bed
When smiles are sincere and my mind is clear.
There is a place in which I love to be,
When I’m discouraged by default, insulted by those that I love, and disappointed by my irresponsibility
Then, there is a place in which I need to be…
When commitments are weakened,
Diamonds stop shining and strengths are forgotten…
There is one place in which I love to be,
Down on my knees, with tears in my heart, my head to the floor.
In submission to Allah is the only place in which I love to be.
