I’ m not used to wake up early in the morning
But she starts her prayers at 4 a.m. in her daily routine
First she was a burden in the dorm but later she was my healing
As she always besides me to share my feeling
Once this dumb girl was totally strange for me
I wonder how my life with her on this nutshell would be
After lecturers a chat with a cup of tea
Two strangers began to know about their creed
What about hijab? What about this white thread on the hand?
Why you pray for 5 times? Why you worship for a statue ?
Hundreds of whats and whys made us realize
A tree needs thousands of roots to rise
She followed her religion I did mine
Yes sometimes how she did was not like mine
But the confab can be conclude as a line
All have enlightened to spread love and kind
One day her mom got severely sick
All she did was praying with sniffs
I took her to a place where I kept my belief We prayed hours at the temple on the cliff
Still she seeks my blessings like a flyer
So do I, as her blessings take me higher
Since our belives won’t slice the society in layers
We all can become an answer for some one’s prayers
