I'm coming to you,
Oh purlieu blue,
No more walls of Berlin
Shall stand between us,
Your name is a link to happiness,
Just the very thought of you
Reaches beyond the tide
And gives life to children,
Our children.

~
No sunset for a heart so bright,
No darkness for a soul of light.
Life is hard, yet full of joy,
As fate treats us like a toy.

Never give up at all times;
Accept all sorrows' rhymes.
Trust each step along your way,
And hopes shall never fade away.

Way of life—hold to morals and belief;
May Allah grant you endless relief.

You
are
      beautiful,
but I guess
you've
            heard
        that
before
*I just hope you've also heard that
               I think you're the one I've been looking for.
You are a song I can't tire of hearing
a pain that's worth bearing
you are the road that I pray may never reach the end
you are a leaf I'll never let touch the ground
a peg to which am tightly bound
and without which I get lost, and in whose presence am found
you are sunshine, you are the big blue sky
you are the one person who makes my heart sing and my soul sigh
the hello that makes me hate goodbye
you are the eyes in which I see the man I crave to be
I owe my faith and persistence to thee
for in the race of life, you're my motivation
and that's why no matter the sharpness of every other bend
on this long road, I tell myself that forever's our destination
I'll keep going for the big dreams and every medal
so as to see you smile as beautiful as a blooming petal
I count myself lucky to have you in my life
or let me just say there would be no true life without you
She taught me what it meant to love
but never
how to fall out of love...
She showed me heaven
and never ever said
there was hell.
