after all is said and done
after 20 years of effort and choices
the plain truth is
i have been given that which is uncountable
and so what i have done
is insignificant
as an expression of true gratitude
and what i should not have done
means i owe even more thanks
for the forgiveness without which i am lost
so whichever way i turn
there is the Generous starting back at me
and all i can do is bow down
offer inadequate praise
and submit
to the Lord of ‘Ali
اللهم صل على محمد و آل محمد
A Mercy Case
