i have read this beautiful poem by Hamza Yusuf and i love it ,so i would love to share it with you,my friends.:sister: so here it is:
I envy the sand that met his feet
I'm jealous of honey he tasted sweet
Of birds that hovered above his head
Of spiders who spun their sacred web
To save him from his enemies
I envy clouds formed from the seas
That gave him cover from the heat
Of a sun whose light couldn't compete
With his, whose face did shine so bright
That all was clear in pitch_black night
I envy sightless trees that gazed
Upon his form completely dazed
Not knowing if the sun had rose
Or if the sky was one with those
Who knelt, who prayed & fasted too
Sipmly because he told them to
With truth & kindness, charity
From god who gave such clarity
His mercy comes in one He sent
To mold our hearts mre heaven bent
I envy all there at his side
Who watched the turning of the tide
As truth prevailed & falsehoof fled
And hope restored life to the dead
And men & women found their place
With aspirations for God's face
I envy the cup that gave him drink
His thoughts that helped us all to think
To be one thought passed his mind
Inspiring him to act so kind
For methis world is not one jot
If i could simply be a thought
From him to God through out the ages
As revelation come in stages
I pitty all who think it odd
To hear him say there is no God
Or he was sent by God to men
To hone their spirits' acumen
It's pride that blinds us form the sight
That helps good men to see his light
He taught us allto be God's slaves
And he will be the one who saves
Humanity form sinful pride
Muhammad[PBUH] has God on his side
So on the day be blessed & sing
For he was born to grace our spring
With lilies, flowers, life's rebirth
In a dome of Green like his on earth
