Soul of Our Souls

 SOULS OF OUR SOULS


‘’She's Reem," said my little Khadija 

Naming her new dollie... 

Plastic is more durable

Than human flesh these days. 


Yet 

In the skies far above,

Beautiful Reem, 

the Soul of Our Souls

Laughs and prances about

Under the kind gaze

Of Father Ibraheem


It’s a sight to behold, 

With all the new-coming children 

Each one, the Soul

Of Someone's Soul.


- Maryam Sakeenah
