Blessed Month

It's the time of year to take spiritual stock
Of the things we are doing and the things we are not

It's a blessed month and our chance to be
Cleansed of our sins if we fast sincerely

Its not just about taking no food and drink
Every part of our body should refrain from sin

Guarding eyes, ears, tongue, our body as a whole
With the conscious intent of purifying the soul.

This will soften our hearts, we will feel the pain
Of those that have little of our worldly gains

The reward of good deeds is many times multiplied
So give money, food, help, whatever you like

Make the mind and body prostrate to the Lord
Let the Quran's message become food for your thoughts

Don't miss the Taraweeh, such blessings it holds
It's a great opportunity to add to the score

Remember, this is the month that generates Taqwa
Doing all those things that bring us close to Allah

Restraining ourselves from the deeds He dislikes
Having love, fear, respect, all these feelings inside

This month brings with it glad tidings, good cheer
It's the best kind of training for the rest of the year.
