Gratitude
by Irhaa Asad, Al Siraat College
Finalist, Foundation – Year 2, written poetry
I have two ears to hear
A nose to smell things near
My hands can clap and play
My legs can run all day
I love my clothes and bag
My toys and yummy bread
My mom, my dad, my brother
We all care for each other
The trees, the sea, the sky
The moon, the stars, so high
The bees, the whales, the sun
I love them, everyone
Thank you, Allah, so kind
For all the gifts I find
I pray to you each day
And thank you when I play.
‘A timely reminder to cherish the small and big gifts in life.’
