Life Poem by Asmau Sada

Life is too short
Death is even sure

Fear is even more

Make this hay

While it shines

For the world is ephemeral

Never get carried away

By greed and materialism

Of modern times

Forgetting God,

Forgetting times that we shall give account

Begrudge no one, be patient

It is not yesterday

That remains in the now,

It is like tomorrow

It shall be a thing of the past
When God comes near

And wipes out tears

Of fears and jeers

As such is life.
