Garments Of Love Poem by Dr Shamim Ali

In marriage, we are garments, it's said
To cover faults and guard our modesty
To keep us warm and make us feel complete
And always be attached, you and me

Just like a garment, we may not fit
Ideally, from the start, we must admit
But with some work and adjusting too
We can find comfort in each other, you and me

A spouse is meant to be an adornment too
A beautiful addition to life, it's true
To enhance our days and bring us joy
A blessing from Allah, we should not destroy

So let us strive to be the best we can
To be a garment for our beloved's plan
To cover faults and keep them warm
And never let them feel forlorn

May Allah bless our marriage with love
And help us be like a garment from above
Comfort and protection for our mate
Until Jannah, we reach our ultimate fate.
