The Islamic Garden
Eternal Life
He (the angel) brings
you to me,
You freeze in this
eternal life.
Your eyes behold true
beauty,
Marveling at me, your
wife.
Only a moment before,
You were kissing me
good-bye.
Watching as Deathʼs
door,
Shut, leaving you to
cry.
On Earth, I held your
hand,
Guiding you on
siraatul-mustaqeem (straight path).
Reminding you of Godʼs
Demand,
This Garden is not a
dream.
Allah made me as your
spouse,
To garment you as He
Told.
So that we may live in
a majestic house,
With bricks of silver
and gold.
Between us He put
serenity,
To help us on our way.
Our life here is for
eternity,
Forever we will stay.
