the first time i can't remember,
but You always reminded me,
coming here somehow made me forget,
but You always reminded me.
no one would wait so long,
but You are the only one,
no one would accept me so unconditionally,
but You are the only one.
i fell down and it hurt,
when no one else could comfort,
You so graciously pulled and encouraged me to get up,
Although it was really You doing all the work.
looking back at this journey thus far,
yes i still am not up to par,
but so many times and so many places
i could have easily strayed but because of Your grace...
Your love and mercy... struck something inside of my heart,
like suddenly my soul just awoke and got recharged,
oh wow...
this beautiful life
is not because of the shiny gold designs that used to entice me,
oh it's... now i see with my eyes through the heart You cleansed for me,
i begin to see my Creator with all that surrounds me...
and when everything seems to fail,
the smile and strength may fade sometimes, but You always remind me to stay arise,
because all that is with You is the prize.
"Dan apa saja (kekayaan, jabatan, keturunan) yang diberikan kepada kamu, maka itu adalah kesenangan hidup duniawi dan perhiasannya; sedang apa yang disisi Allah adalah lebih baik dan lebih kekal. Tidakkah kamu mengerti?" (Al-Qasas:60)
