Warrior Poem by Ansha Truter

The function of the heart is to love
What do you use for?
To fight?
Stop picking up dumbells with yours.
You are always hard at work.
Stop it!

Who taught you this?
I will tell you again,
the function of the heart is to love

And even if a boy,
whose name means Warrior,
who has soft hands,
who makes conversation with you,
whilst you on your warpath,
needs to teach you this.
You will learn

that hearts are not meant to be hard.
Allah has made the function of it to love.

So ensure that you meet your Creator with a sound soft heart.
