الحمد لله على نعمة الحياة بحلوها ومرها
الحمد لله على نعمة الرؤية بجمالها وآلامها
الحمد لله على نعمة السمع بعذوبتها وضجيجها
الحمد لله على نعمة الحب بروعتها وأوجاعها

Forever Thank You
Posted on January 26, 2017 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian
Thank you for the gift of life
Sweet or bitter, the experience is worth it
Thank you for the gift of sight
Beauty or ugly, the WOW of it is worth it
Thank you for the gift of hearing
Soft or thunder, the puzzlement is worth it
Thank you for the gift of consciousness
Cherished or ditched, the wonder of it is worth it
Thank you for the gift of love
Joyous or painful, the marvel of it is worth it
Thank you for every atom ever created
Thank you for every grain of sand ever existed
Thank you for every breath by a soul ever taken
Thank you for every flower ever bloomed or yet to bloom
Thank you for every heartbeat ever pounded
Thank you for every ray of sunshine ever sparkled
Thank you for every sound ever heard
Thank you for every star ever burst into being
Thank you for every sun, moon and planet ever spun
Thank you for every galaxy ever spiraled in perfection
Thank you for every subatomic particle and black-hole big or small
Thank you for every act of kindness ever done by a living being
Thank you for every word ever spoken
Thank you for every song, every tune, every prayer and every psalm ever filled a heart with awe, splendour and adoration
Thank You God forever and ever
❤ and I love You ❤

Heavenly Waterfall
Posted on January 26, 2017 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian
Darkness descends
Eyes shut, humanity falls down
Sludgy deep hole
I gasp for sanity
Help me Lord, slippery world
Don’t let me drown
Beloved child despair not
Hold on my hand
Fly towards my shoal
Cascade of light
Trickled from above
A rainbow from Heaven bathed my soul
Bubbles of love
Washed away my fear and pain
A wondrous waterfall
Danced my heart with joy
No longer broken
My being is bouncing whole
Blessed be thy Holy Name
Sublime is your tenderness
Graceful is your call
Thine is majestic glory
Most Gracious Most Loving
The Kindest of all

All Shades of Wonder
Posted on January 26, 2017 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian
Weary of my colour?
Don’t be, God chose it for me
I do love His gift, magnificent
A touch of paint divine
Sublime brush is splashing
Perfect is the Maker
All shades of tender beauty
Glorious the design
Look into my eyes
Come and hold my heart
Feel my compassion
Fear me not, truly I am benign
A heavenly kiss awakens
Lonely jittery souls
A breath of love embracing
O feel it, brother of mine

Decipher

You start connecting the dots
A definite pattern emerges
WOW shocking TRUTH
The most dangerous “allies”
Those who try to prevent you
From connecting the dots
Be cautious, be alert
Series of crimes
You scratch the surface
Same culprit every time
Every time
Every time
You talk in codes
No mention of names
Only the guilty subjects
Accuse you of “hate”

Hope
Posted on January 1, 2017 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian
❤ ❤ ❤
❤ I love my father and his philosophy, he celebrates every day of the year. His greeting to every one he meets has always been “Happy Eid, New Year/Day, cousin” ❤ كل عام وانتم بخير ابن عمي ❤
Good Morning World
A morning of optimism and hope
A morning of endurance, and willingness to cope
A morning of blessing, never ending grace
A morning of love, a divine embrace
A new day, a new year
To the oppressed,
A promise of victory, ever so near
❤ ❤ ❤
صباح التفاؤل والأمل
صباح الجد والعمل
صباح الخير والبركات
صباح الحب والبسمات
يوم جديد وعام جديد
ووعد بنصر للصابرين، غير بعيد

A Prayer for my Beloved
Posted on December 31, 2016 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian
A prayer for all beloved people in my life
.
May your sleep be as serene
May your heart be as pure
May your grin be as warm
May your soul be as tender
May your days be as calm
May your nights be as blissful
May your life be as tranquil
May your mind be as peaceful
May your dreams be as delightful
As a sweet smile
on a sleeping baby face

Mystic Ties
Posted on December 28, 2016 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian
.
We chased a rainbow one day
Pots of gold we found abound
Dormant, deep in our hearts
Bonded souls in separate realms
Intertwined, with mystic ties
Chant together Psalms of hope
Until we meet, loyal we stay
