What Else Could I Ever Desire? Poem by Ayesha Riaz

Sometimes in life I feel ashamed,
For you have gifted me all I have desired,
Every moment every second,
You answered me,
I was the one who never knew,
Who regretted her life,
I feel ashamed,
What could I give you,
In comparison,
To the rubies and gems,
You gifted me,
A family,
A heart,
A life,
What else could I ever desire?
Sometimes in life I feel ashamed,
For you have held me tight,
When I felt broken,
When I felt useless,
You gave me courage,
Made me realize that-;
I was somebody,
I always regained hope,
What should I give you?
In comparison to all the solutions,
You blessed me with,
From frowns,
You helped me smile,
Happiness,
Smile,
And no worries,
What else could I ever desire?
You showed me miracles,
When I ceased in believing magic,
You comforted me,
Made me realize that-;
I am free and not caged,
My life itself is a miracle,
What could I ever desire?
