Cotton Candy Sky

A little bit of blue,
pink,
purple and white I sometimes see the grey and I sometimes feel the rain But I’ll see the colours of the Cotton Candy Sky again I see the red of my mother’s love The true blue of my father’s hugs I see the orange of my siblings smile I see the pink and the white of the love of my life And the deep,
deep green that all children bring Are the coolness of my eyes Whenever I am down,
I look up to the sky And I see the signs from Allāh,
Most High Most of all I see Light,
endless Light upon Light Mercy from Allāh who is yours and mine Ar-Raẖmānir Raẖīm,
Rabbal ‘Ālamīn The Most Merciful Lord of the Worlds Bismillāh [In the name of Allāh] and again I begin I see the yellow like a sunflower smile Of an orphan girl who says Alẖamdulillah Praise be to God Or a mother who lost her child Sees them waiting on a throne of gold so high Or a father who holds his stride Working hard every day and is firm in his faith Burning bright like a beautiful crimson flame Says Allāh keep my family safe Of course there are times Both yours and mine When the tears in our eyes Sting and blur out the light But these lows bring the highs Of the strength I have inside To always see my Cotton Candy Sky Allāh has given me a Cotton Candy Sky A little bit of blue,
pink,
purple and white I sometimes see the grey and I sometimes feel the rain But I’ll see the colours of the Cotton Candy Sky again
