Allah is with me

I've taken many roads, some high the majority low,
turns and twists, unexpected conflictions await in the midsts,
the feet of my soul carry blisters from this journey,
with the heavy burden of loosing my first born weighing down on me,
I've loved and lost, and when I truly believed love was lost,
there for my rescue was my maker all praises to Allah!

When the sun has fallen and the nights are too dark to see,
the days it seems I can't take another step,
when it's tho my body has no strength left, Allah is with me,
my earthly friends are no more,
they conspire against me at my front door,
laughed at me when I was down,
didn't lend support when my smile was a frown, Allah is with me,
He's given me this chance to express what's inside of me,
taking fear from my heart and making before my eyes my enemies flee,
when my troubles are too hot on my head, the grace of God provides a shaded tree,
cushions my feet when hot rocky roads are all my eyes can see,
Allah is with me,
my freedom is taken because of the mischief I've done, when I thought I've lost through God I've won,
I fear no man, but only my creator, man can kill my body, but my soul is God's later,
ALLAH IS WITH ME.
