Heaven is under her feet

by Fahd A AlSaleh   May 17, 2008


They say angels cannot bee seen
But I see one every day
You may not understand me
But listen to what I have to say

I've been lost so many times
More than I could remember
Feeling weak and confused
Willing to surrender

But the angel was by my side
Guiding me to the right paths
Helping me in the worst problems
To the simple things in maths

By my side
From the early start
Before you could ever hear
The small beats of my heart

Her wings lifted me
And taught me how to walk
Her wings held me
And taught how to read, write and talk

By my side
In my dark nights of fear
Whispering in ear
"Go to sleep my dear"

By my side
Ridding me from the pain I feel
A single touch from her
Made my wounds heal

It is you mother, my angel
Who never left me astray
Shaping me to
The man I am today

It is you mother,
The one who kept our family intact
You're an idol to the world
And that is a true fact

You were there for me
Always nearby
Preparing your shoulders
Whenever I needed to cry

So many sacrifices
I couldn't keep track
The entire world fortune
Isn't enough to pay you back

It is you mother, you and only you
The reason my life didn't fail
I want you to know
My love for you fits no scale

Our prophet said:
"Heaven is under mothers' feet"
So I ask god
Let it be the next place we meet.

    OMG.It's another beautiful and so touching piece and the last stanza was the best.You were so right when you that our mothers are really angels because I think that my mother is the only reason that I am still alive for it.

    I really loved the saying of our prophet Muhammed(peace be upon him)...

    Excellent.5\5.
