With Grace...
In everything you do,
And everything you say,
Go ahead and do it gently,
Just do it with grace.
No matter where youre going,
No matter where you stay,
Let a smile be etched beautifully upon your blessed face.
Walk upon the earth softly,
Hurry and pick up the pace,
Today you are on the surface;
Tomorrow may not be the same case
Speak words of wisdom calmly,
Speak only words of praise.
Silence is bettter than nonsense that fills space.
Greet your sister happily,
Greet her with honor and not disgrace,
Leave people yearning to behold your special face.
Whether youre met with opposition,
Whether youre way is mocked and pushed away,
Keep doing good always,
It was never between you and them anyway.
In everything you do, take a leaf from the prophets book,
He did everything splendidly,
Did not leave any goodness unsaid.
Tread his path confidently,
Walk in his way with pride,
Be such as will make him happy and bring upon Allah's delight.
Be different.
Be optimistic.
Be frissonic in your life.
Be born with "bismillah" and end your days with "Alhamdulillah".
Live a life that changes,
Live a life that will touch lives.
Be such as people will miss you when you finally die.
You see its not beauty of the face that endears you,
Its your character and spirit that grant you light,
Its thr goodness and the noor of excellence that opens to you all hearts.
In everything you do,
In every single word you say;
Be gentle,
Be beautiful,
Be kind,
Be respectful,
Be graceful in your way.
