Each of Us Must Sacrifice Ourselves

September 24, 2015

Dear Subscriber:

This week’s poem of the week is a poem for Eid al-Adha about self-sacrifice and eternal love.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Each of us must sacrifice our selves
If we would hope to know eternal love.
Deep within the spirit that rebels
Abides a moment time cannot remove.
Leave your self behind in prayer and be
A willing servant in your master’s hands,
Devoted to good deeds and faithfully
Holding to the life Allah commands,
And love will fill your silence like a sea.
