Ramadan Poem by Billy Loving

Ramadan, a month for learning
For knowledge, my soul yearning
Time for reading
Understanding needing
Time to fast
From sunup to sundown it will last
Time of trial
Of your faith there is no denial
Time of celebration
From nation to nation
A test of endurance
Of your commitment, there will be assurance
A time for blessing
Of your religion, confessing
Time to remember
Studying the suras, their teachings in our mind do enter
Only one month of the year
But a time so many hold so dear
